History is written by the victors. One video below is very brief (two minutes), while the other is feature-length. See what you think your answer to the question may be after viewing both.

The assclown in the video ought to thank his lucky stars Churchill saw to it that he did not need to speak German. History is written by the victors is a line the weak of mind like to use to question any western history because in the last few hundred years we've done most of the winning. I guess he has forgotten that historians have looked at this from just about every angle imaginable. There is peer review in the west, something that did not exist in many other cultures

Perhaps required reading in Great Britain should be Churchill's 6 book set The Second World War. There is nothing worse than someone throwing out baseless allegations 75+ years later that never had to enter the fray.

Perhaps our youngster forgot about the Battle of Britain, the bombing of London and other cities. The thread they hung on by until we entered the war. These were dire times with a maniac leading a German Army that was crushing everything in it's path.

We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender. - Winston Churchill

Is Churchill a hero? Is Britain free today? There is your answer.

In the wise words of Malcom Reynolds: "It's my estimation that every man ever got a statue made of him was one kind of sommbitch or another. Ain't about you, Jayne. It's about what they need. "

I'll bet a shiny new dime that Winnie would have this ISIS situation wrapped up in no time. There isn't a high ranking WWII key figure in our military who wouldn't be crucified as a war criminal in today's day and age.

I'll take that bet, Churchill overall wasn't a great military leader. Case in point Gallipoli, ISIS will be a quagmire for years to come.
