I know that US and British enlisted soldiers get along fine, BTW, and sense a Montgomery in the bad mix. We don’t have a Patton these days.

Some commissions from enlisted ranks of both forces would solve some of the problems that have occurred, IMO. ...too many lords of various sorts in command in both forces.

Montgomery undoubtely had ihis failings.But the American nortion of a mediocre commander is utter nonsense.

Monty may not have been a genius,but he was a fine commander.
