Lawrence Martin, wrong in so many ways...

...and The Ruxted Group catalogues a number of them. Yes, yes, the piece is more than a week old at this point. Regardless of that, if you haven't read it, you should. Here's a snippet:

The third level of error involves the idea, if that’s the right word, that senior military commanders must see a war through to its end. Apparently Lawrence Martin is also abysmally ignorant of Canadian history; evidently the names Anderson, Stuart and Murchie mean nothing to him. They were Chiefs of the General Staff during various parts of the Second World War. Staying on and on and on until a war is won, or lost, is not part of our history anywhere in the West. Martin is making things up.

And that's just one paragraph from the tail end of the piece. Like I said, it's worth reading.
