It happened again: on a train filled with cheese eating surrender monkeys hurtling through the Belgian countryside towards Paris, the Americans came to the rescue:
Crew on Paris-bound train barricaded themselves in their staffroom and locked the door as Kalashnikov-wielding terrorist went on the rampage leaving PASSENGERS to take him down.
And, as usual, the passengers were 3 Americans and a Brit. When an Islamic terrorist (Can I say that? The French called for caution before jumping to conclusions.) opened fire with an AK-47 (wait, youre not allowed to have an assault rifle in France!) he was rushed and taken down by Americans Spencer Stone (U.S. Air Force) and Alek Skarlatos (Oregon National Guard) and subdued with the help of California student Anthony Sadler, and British national Chris Norman.
French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve commended the Americans who neutralize(d) this extremely violent passenger, praising them for their great bravery and saying that without their sang-froid we could have been confronted with a terrible tragedy.
Not exactly like it was the first time though, eh boys?
The Normandy American Cemetery, overlooking Omaha Beach and the English Channel. It holds the graves of more than 9,300 U.S. servicemen who died in the D-Day invasion.
Like it or not world, you still need us.

Their gun control laws didn’t work. They need to control ROP’ers - kick them out.
The French would have helped, but they were digging their white handkerchiefs out of their pockets to wave in the air.
The French generalship in ww1 was horrible, criminal really but the French fighting man was as good as the Germans or the Brits. The only army in ww1 with good generals was the American army. The French are only just now recovering from the damage done to France in ww1.
This year marked the 200th anniversary of France’s last win. Although it isn’t like they haven’t won a few battles since then. In 1940 the French (backed by the Germans) managed to defeat the French (backed by the British) in the Battle of Dakar. And they managed to defeat a much smaller Thai force at Ko Chang a few months later before France surrendered to the Thais. (In World War II alone, France surrendered to the Germans, Italians, British, Australians, Americans, Thais and Japanese.)
I think their defeat of Mexico in the "Pastry War" was less than 200 years ago. Credit where credit is due - they cost Santa Anna one of his legs.

If we had lost as many young men in WW-1 and WW-2 as the French I doubt we would be quite so smug
You are right. That is why we should bless the name of General Pershing
Thanks. I’ve been using it since July, 2009.
I dunno. They just look like they are chillin'. Don't see a lot of killin'.
They lost a lot in WWII 'cause they fought on both sides.
