What was your issue with Gallipolli? the strategic concept? the tactical execution? |
Piss poor intel, piss poor planning, piss poor execution, and tossing Australian and New Zealand troops into a meat grinder that has impacted Commonwealth relations to this day, (and was repeated at Dieppe with Canadians).
Contrast gallipolli with the Somme. Which was a larger failure? |
Some one else's larger failure excuses Churchill's large failure... HOW, exactly?
Keep going with your etc. How about the whole list, you obviously have more. I am sure you can google some, but ill give you a few minutes, as you are obviously an expert. |
Starting construction of HMS Vanguard when it would not be finished in time to participate in WWII.
Fitting Vanguard with WWI era 15" guns.
Continuing to complete Vanguard after the war was over.
The Itallian "Soft Underbelly" campaign that turned out not to be so soft and diverted resources away frommore promising avenues, and blew up the abbey at Monte Cassino.
Insisting that Montgomery get supplies that kept Patton from getting to the Seigfried line before it was fully manned and fortified.
Failing to find a diplomatic solution before firing on French forces in Algeria.
That's just the short list off of the top of my head...
