The French generals wasted the best,most courageous French men in STUPID charges in the face of multiple German machine guns in WW1.And the British generals did the same. Both nations threw away the best of their men because uncaring IDIOTS were in charge.
Yep. The British did a good job of that at The Somme against the Germans, and at Gallipoli against the Turks.
Everyone in WWI did the same, the Germans and Americans not excluded.
