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.

They lost a lot in WWII 'cause they fought on both sides.
