No that is not the case. No one forced the British to fight the way they did. If they do something foolish then they are to blame not us.

Now if they had to fight with corn stalks while we were using M 16's, well that would be an unfair fight. Being out generaled is their fault.

Look, all I'm saying is that it wasn't some kind of glorious victory against long odds.

And this may really make people mad, but the French, historically speaking, aren't the surrender monkeys of the popular image. Verdun was probably the longest, bloodiest battle in history, including Stalingrad. Aside from 1870 and 1940, I'd say they've done rather well on the field.
