Most overrated WW2 commander

Next time we'll stay on the side line.

Next time we'll stay on the side line. I hope you enjoy speaking Chino-Russian.

What do you mean next time?  The last time Canada had the chance to face fascism in open combat, it refused.

[Ed Anger]

lol, Canadians think they are important.

Iraq wasn't fascist.

& I mean, without us, as I mentioned before, you would still be trying to take St-Mere-Eglise.

@Ed Canadians? I seem to be the only one beating that drum. Damn it, Anglos! Have a little pride.

Nah, someone else would have taken it, perhaps the brazilians or something. Or another american army. Or the soviets.

I'm not seeing much difference. Froggy quackers or Anglo flannel wearers. All the same.

So let me get this straight-- Canuckleheads here are complaining that we're neglecting Canada's role in WWII by not listing one of their generals as a choice for "most overrated"? 

[Warspite]

Hey - you don't have to list generals from every combatant.

But if you're going to list fucking yugoslavs, and you claim to list combatants from each major power, you should list a Canadian.  And Gen. Crerar was the most senior Canadian commander during WWII.  And his Canadian 1st Army did liberate Holland.

More people know who Tito was than would know any Canadian general, ever.

I don't get the Monty hate. Dude was the only one following a reasonable plan to get to Berlin and saving northern Europe from the Russkies, instead of retarded yankee ideas about a southern redoubt 

He wasn't exactly crap.  He was a first-class administrator & trainer.  But he was far too unimaginative and risk-averse (outside of his Market Garden failure).  In many respects he's comparable to McClellan, except that he did win some decisive battles.

During and shortly after WWII, I would put him up there with the most overrated.  Nowadays his reputation seems to have adjusted to a more or less accurate level, though.

We are. It's crazy, I know.

There were more people in Yugoslavia then there were in Canada as well.

It's an insult to our mediocrity.

Drawing lines without creating facts on the ground would hardly have convinced Stalin to uphold his end of the bargain.

There were facts on ground.  The ground at Hiroshima and the ground at Nagasaki.
