Tourist,

Take a crash course in why we got thrashed in the sandpits.

Try reading "Losing Small Wars" and "Investment in Blood", both by Frank Ledwidge.

Then you may realise it had little to do with the troops/flyers/sailors and their support staff and more to do with the top brass, heavily overpaid and undertalented?
