As I said in a previous post, I think the Second World War was a foolish
mistake that we should never have been involved in.

What color is the sky on your planet? How do you chose not to be involved
when an avalanche comes down the mountain at you? Are you seriously
suggesting that if Britain had ignored the invasion of Poland it wouldn't
have been only a matter of time until Hitler got around to Britain? Can you
really see a world in which Hitler was allowed to conquer Europe but happily
left Britain and its commonwealth alone? Get real.

But if you knew your history, you'd know why the troops were evacuated at
Dunkirk.

Dunkirk was survival pulled out of the jaws of disaster. Having learned the
folly of depending on the French as allies, it would have been suicide for
Britain to have left its army in France to be destroyed in a lost cause. A
third of a million troops were saved at Dunkirk, many of whom went on to
defeat the Africa Korps and march up the Italian peninsula and across NW
Europe. There is no scenario in which leaving those men to be killed or
captured to no good end would have been a preferable course of action, only
a fool would suggest otherwise.

Mr. Mulay for some inexplicable reason finds the early Soviet example more
inspiring, which is typical of the combined ignorance and arrogance with
which he views history. Despite having been recently schooled the hard way
by Finland the Soviets displayed almost incomprehensible incompetence when
attacked by Hitler. In contrast to the skill and foresight the British
displayed in saving their army at Dunkirk, the Soviets allowed whole armies
to be cut off, surrounded and destroyed, hundreds and hundreds of thousands
of troops marched into German captivity as a result of Stalin's insistence
on holding the line everywhere and the gross incompetence of Soviet military
leadership. It wasn't even as if their sacrifice served any purpose, the
German army advanced as fast as it could march regardless of what the
Soviets did, those men were simply thrown away because of the stupidity of
the Kremlin and the politically reliable generals Stalin had promoted in the
face of competent officers whose loyal he mistrusted.

The irony is that Stalin learned from his early mistakes and brought back
competent officers while Hitler ended up repeating Stalin's blunders later
on at places like Stalingrad, refusing to pull back hundreds of thousands of
men because of pride and stupidity. Who knows, perhaps Mulay regards
Stalingrad as a great German triumph because Hitler didn't let his army "run
away," yeah, that would be no surprise. That's why it was better Mulay was
a wing-wiper, he would probably have killed only himself in an A7 rather
than getting a whole company or battalion wiped out. Of course he didn't
stick with it long enough for us to know either way, just as well.
