It was NOT a tactical mistake. He knew it wouldn't work and he never spoke up. That's lack of intestinal fortitude to protect your people. By the time they had stopped farting around with the phosgene and chlorine gases over 1600 of our soldiers had died and countless wounded. I have no respect for either Monty or Mountbatten they were both egotists. I found it rather apropos that Mountbatten went down with his "ship". As for the Gap it seems to me that the troops were seasoned as you said. But does one stop because the other side is seasoned too. The CSM stated tht they waited for someone to decide to move. Instead they spent days contemplating their navels. Like I said I'm entitled to my opinion, right or wrong.
