So stupid. The French military has surrendered less than the British overall, and took more casualties in WWI by far. We hear on an on about Flanders fields, and the 744,000 poppies etc for the Brits. The French lost 1.1 million battle dead and 1.3 million from all causes. The Brits lost 1.9% of their population while the French lost 4.29%.
Or Maybe you mean WWII where they lost 200,000 dead soldiers, again far exceeding British war dead per capita.
Meanwhile the Brits fled the battlefield at Dunkirk leaving the north flank exposed. The Brits at Singapore surrendered to a Jap force one third their size. Yet we never hear about tea sipping surrender monkeys.
Amen.
I’m not some great lover of the French but there’s a few things that I like.
First off, I like that they’re not members of NATO. NATO is a joke, it is a huge fail. The world laughs at NATO, it’s an organization that can’t get out of its own way. The only purpose it serves is to be a cushy assignment for generals and their perfumed staffs.
Second, I like that France doesn’t let anybody tell them what to do with their nuclear programs (energy and weapons). They tested a new hydrogen bomb in an underwater test in the mid-1990s and told anybody who didn’t like it to go suck it. I like that. Whenever the enviralists don’t like something the USA is doing and starts whining, we always kowtow to them and shut it down. We buckle like a belt and it pisses me off to no end.
Third: and speaking of nukes, it’s the worst-kept secret in the world that we provided France with all kinds of nuclear information in the 1970s, including the design of the neutron bomb, which they’ve tested and have in their inventory. It’s pretty sad when we can’t trust our future govt. officials to be proper stewards of our nuclear inventory, so we have to turn it loose on France who is more trusted to do what’s right and show strength in the face of liberal whiners.
