Market Garden

[Tor Larson]

Sorry Brits but....

Monty always sucked as a leader. Unoriginal, over-rated, egotistical, and a camera whore. NEVER fought unless he had overwhelming support in his favor. He needed 8 to 1 in Egypt to beat Rommel. Rommel had less than 100 tanks, mainly Italian shit, and Monty still barely won in 42. Real hard to beat the Desert Fox when Rommel had no oil, no air cover, and 30 Mk3 tanks...and Rommel wasn't even at the battle!
Normandy- again, overwhelming odds in favor of him. When the odds were even he sucked. Not a tank commander like Guderian, Patton, Manstein, Patton, or Rommel. Ike wasn't too keen on him either. Monty stabbed him in the back while Ike was President-

Dude liked little boys too...just like the other big Brit General Kitchener.

Years ago while visiting England I saw a drink in a pub called a Monty Martini. It was something like 12:1 or 15:1 ratio of gin to vermouth. It was a drink in honor of Montgomery's failure to attack unless well supplied.
