[Bob Womack]

Where's the cigar? When he was shooting the Tommy gun he did it with a cigar in his mouth!

You can see that he's actually using the sling.

He looks like he knows what he's doing. I was in the UK 1996. Visited Princess Di's family estate. There was a bed with a rope around it and a sign saying that Winston Churchill was born in that bed. Fabulous.
If there had been any other politician running England instead of Churchill, they would have considered and taken a treaty with Germany and the whole thing might have gone far differently. Old Winston told Hitler to shove his peace treaty....come and get it! He was far,far more of a leader than anyone of the time. Further, If not for the vigorous and costly losing fight in Crete, Germany would have taken Malta which was the key to N Africa. Greece would have fallen into the communist sphere had not Churchill pushed for a civil war
