Monty knew Ike was unhappy over his slowness of getting ANYTHING Done SO Monty had an idea and he rushed over to see Ike about it Ike he said why don't I use my Para's to drop in and seize the bridges at Arneham good idea said Ike (anything to get rid of this idiot thought Ike ) so after Very careful planning Monty manage to drop his Para's right on top of Sepp Dietrich's 6th Panzer Army , after the battle Sepp jokingly said if the Brits had waited 3 more days we'd have been gone ..

Once again, I agree with you - and I hope that's not a symptom of something wrong with me.
I have always thought Monty wanted to prove he could be a dashing commander, so he tried to do what he did with Operation Market Garden - except if failed miserably.
By the way, can I post your threads on FB?
