Non, je ne regrette rien.

“No, i regret nothing.”

je le parle....

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

[Simone Segouin's] actions helped to change the course of feminist history in France. But Simone remains eternally modest. ‘I was a Resistance fighter, that’s all,’ she shrugs. ‘If I had to do it all again, I would, because I don’t regret anything.’

Just put Edith Piaf in mind.

[Bringbackthedraft]

Just one of the 150 million French resistance fighters at the closing of the war? ;)

[Reverend Saltine]

hollywood marketing

heroes are always needed

foci of attention to both motivate and perpetuate

modern mythology; nothing wrong with it

mythology tells us how to be and how to not be

myths are the same in every culture, every era, and every where

[Reverend Saltine]

i do

great days

grea era

great personalities

great character

probably won’t be matched anytime soon

gone for now

but DNA and human mythology always resurfaces; always manifests; always wins in the end

they used to put the liberals and progressives out on the ice floes at night and leave them there, so that the tribe could survive

[Lazamataz]

She’s cute! I’d hit it.

[elcid1970]

‘Bout seventy years too late for that, mon vieux.

[null and void]

That was unexpected!

[Lazamataz]

Every now and again I like to suprise everyone.

[Lazamataz]

No, I mean I’d hit it at her current age of 88.

[[It was a passionate and long-lived romance but the pair never married. They had six children – all of whom were given her maiden name on their birth certificates.]]

Six kids, but no marriage. She doesn’t regret that? That’s so French.

[wbill]

Yup. Lots more people in La Resistance after the war, than during it.

[Reverend Saltine]

a great tale

i would make her descended from Booudica and some eternal spirit goddess

would make a great novel

each child, except for ne, would go on to carry the battle onward, for truth, justice, and the human way....

[elcid1970]

Heh, heh! But at least this WWII heroine is still with us.

But isn’t it strange how the more time that passes since 1945, the closer to us it seems to get? IMO it’s the color newsreels & home movies that continue to surface, not having been viewed in all those years. Computer enhancement makes some footage seem like it was filmed yesterday.

Not like those grainy timeworn B&W newsreels we grew up with.

Storming into Paris to help liberate the French capital from the Nazis, her bravery would lead to her becoming a symbol of female resistance around the world.

<><><><

The only thing that caused the Boche to leave Paris in August 1944 was the fact that the Allies were closing in. Twas not the resistants.

And it certainly was not DeGaulles Free French army, which entered Paris first (at DeGaulle’s insistence) in US uniforms, US trucks, US tanks, all carrying US arms.

[Zionist Conspirator]

Did somepony say . . .

[Reverend Saltine]

i jes’ report ‘em man

frankly, she looked over hyped and over marketed

but as i’ve said, that’s fine

we need heroes

we need heroines

we need Mythology to show us How To Be

and How Not To Be
