Tom Hanks’ new “World War II” documentary series currently running on the History Channel recognizes and documents this reality. Britain’s great General Bernard Montgomery knew how to handle Churchill whenever the old fool flew over to France to impart his military wisdom. Now the United States is similarly blessed with its own Lion in Winter. The money was not there in the past 20 years of British military procurements to build them. Even the aircraft operated by the two British carriers are American F-35s, the most problem-plagued, incompetent combat aircraft in the world.
