Thanks. I withdraw my question !
Inter service banter is one thing .............
listening to what my Grand mother (and mother) and the rest of the family went through, I have no qualms about the war being taken to Germany.
The Germans "shot up" my grand mother and Aunt in Croydon (I'm sure a pilot at 100 feet could tell a lady and a kid were not soldiers as my grandmother looked at the pilot as he flew past at tree top level- just before he got blown out of the sky by the Ack Ack gun at the end of the street !!!) and week after week had bombs, V1's and V2's fall on civilian areas so I don't blame them for doing likewise. I would.
To wake up in the morning to find the house just behind you had vanished, family included, all the windows of your house blown in, and as my mother said, the Fish tank glass shattered and the water and fish all over the floor. Yep, really going to win the war by targeting civilians, all it did was give plenty of people, especially my grand mother a pathological hatred of the Germans !
