Latest doctrine hot off the press .......

OK if I move this to the Naafi, Boss?

Some great stuff here, have heard UN-FUCK used in Operations as in "RWAC, I'm not sure what these wankers have been doing but try to get it un-fucked asap"

This is quite a useful tool for interpreting military history.

For example, Operation Market Garden has defied logic and understanding for nearly three quarters of a century. These new doctrinal concepts offer an explanation in readily understandable terms.

In late 1944 there was a good chance that the war might end. Montgomery feels that he has been fucked over by the Americans because he is British and that Eisenhower’s broad front strategy is at best a fuck about with the risk of becoming a fuck around. His claims to retain the role of land commander are met with a firm fuck you from Ike.

Monty's response is fuck your hat – Market Garden is a plan which puts him and the forces of the crown in the lead role for the big finale. 1st Airborne Army really wants to mount the operation as they have planned and cancelled half a dozen operations before and there is a serious danger that the big show will be over before they get to play their part. There were lots of flaws in the plan and assumptions that were found to be unfounded. The confusion that we have had for nearly 70 years about aims objectives and the logic behind the Market Garden planning is because this was a shit show with Montgomery and 1st Airborne Army jumping through their asses. Challenges to the plan, such as the intelligence that the Germans are stronger are met with befuckling and as the plan unravels, a degree of dick dancing.

There is the impression that 1st Airborne Army and their UK based air planners really wanted this to be their show and didn’t want to hand over control or share glory. They fucked off 2nd TAF from the air plan and the Dutch Resistance. This led to 1st Airborne Army fucking themselves when they realised that they could have done with the Close air support, combat air patrols and tactical recce aircraft assets that 2nd TAF had, and the local knowledge of the island by the Dutch.

During the operation itself the commanders in 1st Airborne Division must have felt Fuck me” as the plan was heading for a fuck up. This moment is captured in the film "A Bridge Too Far" in the scene when the divisional commander is surrounded by grinning lunatics from the mental hospital. I have heard it said that some of the assaulting units who had to win on the first day fucked up under pressure.

The river crossing of the Waal by the US Paras was a desperate attempt to unfuck things, but they felt that they had been fucked over by the Guards Armoured Division who had said fuck it after capturing the Nijmegen road bridge. What remained of the operation was a goat rodeo and a shit storm, if such euphemisms can be used to describe a costly military defeat.

After the event the public and especially the Americans thought that Monty had shit the bed big time…

All that remains is to point out that these terms are not sufficient in themselves to explain Operation Market garden. It needs the insidious influence of the dark side of British military Ethos, personified by the Emperor Mong…”No need to check the comms/ find a closer LZ - this operation will be cancelled like the last ten” ;)

Cornelius Ryan eat your heart out! LoL

Genuis - do they come in a TAM sized format?

At last somebody puts their brain in gear and analyses Market Garden accurately! It is clear from Pteranodon's analysis that Monty jumped through his own ass in the run up to Market Garden and successfully muttered "Fuck You" in boy Browning's ear. honestly, not even Daphne du Maurier could have made this up so it seems that the answer is as Pteranodon suggests.

And they say the golden age of military history died with Richard Holmes...

SO1 JOTD recently said to the last JOTAC that he liked using the 'SMASH' effect.

I personally use 'END'
"My intent is to END the enemy."

Not a Goat Rodeo more a Rolling Goat Fuck.

Arent these restricted?
