14. Not as bad as the above, but more recent...
Edited on Wed Sep-20-06 11:28 PM by Shipwack
The British invasion of the Falklands/Malvina's - they got complacent and lost two ships, and almost lost their carrier and more to an Argentinian sub that they didn't know was there 'til after hostilities ended.

Bay of Pigs?

I voted for Stalingrad, btw... The current Iraq invasion is more stupid, but I think more people in the German High command actually knew they were making a huge mistake, but they followed orders anyway.
