re: #75 Leonidas Hoplite

They were last time too, in the form of Winston Churchill, but no one listened to him and he was widely derided as an alarmist and a warmonger for continually warning about the trouble brewing.

Yes, he was certainly considered those things. But on a bright note, when the government was forced to bring him back as First Lord of the Admiralty, throughout the fleet was signaled “Winston’s Back!”

Sailors are cool.
