or even:
earlier in this thread someone was on about a book called armageddon,slagging off our monty.was that not written by hastings.rather ironic that,sounds like tedder.how many copies do you think he wants to sell in the u.s.a. bloody traitor,yours very sincerely,lee.

Or perhaps this: market was an american debacle.failure to grab son bridge.gavin sendng 1 company on day 2 to capture the wilhelmena bridge at njimegen and needding british help to keep the advance routes open.im sorry,but this is my opinion.all garden units had to stop and help.

Now, if you are gonna make statements like that, then you had better back them up. I am a fair person, and I believe in treating everyone equally. My first reaction is not to go "oh Lee's opinon muct be cautioned by the fact that he has no access to records. I treat you as I do everyone else. I do this because you deserve to be treated equally, not favourably or less faourably but equally. Therefore I expect no more or no less than anyone else. If I am to treat you as equally as say Owen, Christos or Ron Goldstein (first 3 names that popped into my head) then I must say that if you are gonna make sweeping statements then, like everyone else, it is your responsiblity to make sure either: a) you can back it up or b) u know someone who can. I have given examples of situations where you have given your opinion. this is a public forum, it is accessed by member of the public. therefore we owe it to them to bakc up our claims with suitable proof. So in responnse to your post I say yes, well done on doing all you can to overcome your disability but I will judge you as I judge everyonr else in the interests of equality.

i am sorry if I have offended anyone with this.

Gotthard, are the Mod's going to open up the "Anvil" thread again? I thought it was an interesting one, I mean obviously Lee is not a big fan of "Ike" but he is entitled to his opinion, I don't think other members should take such offence. (and yes sometimes it does seem like the high commander is on a "lofty perch"! LoL) We should be all able to debate here. Just my 'umble opinion
