I hope so too. One of the great men of any century.

But those who deify Churchill err on the other side. He was not perfect and did make some tragic errors in his career. The Dardanelles campaign in WWI and the "Soft Underbelly of The Axis" strategy in WWII are examples.

Oh, no doubt. And he had the Dardanelles campaign held over his head for the rest of his life.

I don’t deify Churchill (as I said in my post, he had flaws) but he ranks, in my opinion, FAR above many men who unfairly are.
