If Winston Churchill were still with us, do you think he would be forced to be Politically Correct?

Winston Churchill's Actual Directive to General Alexander Commander-in-Chief in the Middle East in August 1942...
1. Your prime and main duty will be to take or destroy at the earliest opportunity the German-Italian Army commanded by Field Marshal Rommel together with all its supplies and establishments in Egypt and Libya.
2. You will discharge or cause to be discharged such other duties as pertain to your command without prejudice to the task described at paragraph 1 which must be considered paramount in His Majesty’s interests.
Pretty straight forward and to the point, don’t you think?
