not really surprising is it?
personally I'm with the British MP who called them all cowards for "deserting a sinking ship", good job the British werent like that in WW2 we'd all be speaking German now and Goose Stepping.

It seems I remember reading about a place called Dunkirk where people lined up in the ocean praying they could get out of the place, and another place called Burma, and a couple of high speed retreats across North Africa,,,

Then there was that 1842 British retreat from Kabul, an entire army of 16,000 erased, with one known survivor.

No nation is without its failures and defeats, and the refugees that result.

I really do believe that if you had asked one of the civilian survivors of the fall of Singapore in 1941 if they wished they had evacuated they would have said yes.
