Nah... Obviously not many have chosen to go back to eh snipers, so why not.
The trouble with Market Garden was that it lay in the British zone and Monty was the best there was there. There was no choice. The Americans didn't go planning offensives in the British zone, and the British didn't in the American zone. When Monty took over during the Ardennes, it was an unpresedented action (but very much called for).
So you can say the operation was doomed to fail. Personally I believe it was doomed to fail in any case because of the two resting SS Panzer divisions and the impossible landingconditions at Arnhem. Arnhem would simply not fall.
But all the other troubles just added to this and made it worse.
