Well you think 'Band of Brothers' is a documentary so I am naturally absolutely bereft at the loss of respect from someone of your intellectual calibre 
No doubt the British people and European people that you're fond of haven't criticised anything American yet. It's all it seems to take to set you off.
Our derision began in direct response to disrespectful comments most especially 'arrogant British' and the like. If you're going to throw these insults around and expect nothing in return then you are even more stupid than you appear to be. We are not interested, in your evaluation of how much merit you attribute to us, we have as much right to speak here as you do.
Thanks for getting personal and insulting though. It does rather prove Zack's point doesn't it old chap? 
No of course not Guppy. I believe my comment was that American public opinion towards Montgomery's achievements changed considerably after the war when he became vocally critical about elements of American command. The history of Monty and all of this is well documented & we are not debating any of it. We have no argument with those of you who have actually studied this and reached the level of understanding that you and Butcher and some of the others are displaying. What's set Zack and I off in this thread is a basic lack of respect for our culture and history.
I never said "Band of Brothers" was a documentary of any sort. You just assumed that I did. Assumption is the mother of all screw ups. I merely said it was fairly accurate, and there were no huge discrepancies outside of Blythe supposedly dying in 1947.
Montgomery was an arrogant overbearing chump, and his arrogance was directly responsible for the failure of Market Garden. You cannot grasp that nor can you accept it, that's just too damned bad.
You and your boy zack have proven my point perfectly. I never said you lacked the right to post here. What I said was your opinions and declarations were no more important than those of anyone else, and I do not give a damn what you think of me, nor do I owe you any specific personalized explanation for my opinions. You are just the sort of arrogant British chumps I find so boring. You remind me a lot of the ignorant Russian fan boys who run about demanding such great respect and honor for their losses during World War II, when it was their boy Stalin who joined Hitler in starting the war in Europe. They richly deserved every casualty they took while cleaning up a mess they helped make. The fact also remains that the vast majority of Europe itself, including Britain, was responsible for World War II. It was the absurd treaty that Britain and France demanded after World War I that got things started, and then your (see: Neville Chamberlain) willingness to sit around pacifying Hitler and emboldening him.
The best part of all is how the British especially want to sit around and criticize the United States for "being three years late" to World War II. Just like a snotty little brat who makes a huge mess of his room, then whines about cleaning up his mess. After it is all over with, the little snotty brat brags about how he labored in cleaning up his room, blames others for the mess, and then complains anyone who helped clean it up showed up late and didn't pull their weight. Wipe your nose, it's dripping off of your chin.
Europe was in a constant state of war for centuries, the idea that the U.S. should come running every time you clowns start another war is the most ridiculous, pompous, and arrogant part of the European attitude.
For the British soldier, sailor, and airman, I have the greatest respect and admiration, their honor, dignity, skill, and bravery are second to none. For many of the British people, I have great respect and admiration for them as well.
For people like you, your boy zack, danny76, and plawranc (just another typical "three years late" idiot) I have zero respect. The vast majority of us do not give a damn what people like you think of anyone or anything. The fact of the matter is, pompous windbags such as you and your bunch are boring. I have better things to do that match wits with unarmed clowns such as the lot of you.
