Did Ernest King dislike all British officers?

Did Ernest King hate the British?

Clarke says that King's experience of Beatty shaped his attitudes, while leaving room for better relations with other British officers.

Clarke rejects the suggestion that King simply hated the British. He connects King's unfavorable impression to his First World War encounter with Beatty and argues that British officers who behaved differently could receive a different response. This is his interpretation of King's attitudes, without a detailed examination of King's correspondence in this exchange.
