Did we miss some sort of antebellum South movement recently sweeping Poland or something? 
Bunch of people that don't use vowels suddenly appearing in white suits with jelly jars full of lemonade or something?

I'd ask "what crawled up his ass", but that might a little too on the nose.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

It's really irritating that people only remember the good things about him.
One that is particularly irksome is the "he was the only one who noticed the nazis were a threat in the 30s and the establishment put him out in the cold for this!"
When in fact the main reason he became such a marginal figure in the 30s was his views on India. He just couldn't see that the history of british rule in India was a history of gradual movement towards self rule and that an independent India was inevitable within a few decades at least.  No. To him it was brown people can't rule themselves.

Also the idea that he was the one who won the war...
Attlee deserves just as much credit for making sure the country kept quietly ticking over.

He was put out in the cold because of Gallipoli.  His warnings about Germany in the 30s were issued from the fringes of power.

It wasn't self-evident in the 30s that India was capable of self rule.  It wasn't self evident during partition and independence, for that matter.

What makes you say this?

I'll keep this on file next time you accuse me of bait and switch.
