That’s why we say "the Dunkirk Spirit" not "the German Blitzkreig, followed by the collapse of the French & British Armies, then Dunkirk Spirit"…  |
It's a very, very strange post. It's an unusual comparison and it's also so poorly worded that you need to read it a few times to make sense of it! It would be easier if it read "This - Afghanistan - could be another Dunkirk situation" or just removed "This - ".
