The cheese eating bit was funny on The Simpsons; about ten years back. Time to move on.

Nowhere in the article does it mention surrender.
What’s up with that?

I just love a story with a happy ending.
“Robber shot”
It just brings tears to my eyes.

"The cheese eating bit was funny on The Simpsons; about ten years back. Time to move on."Although the French have lost plenty, they always fought valiantly. Even when the French got crunched at the beginning of WW2, the Germans sustained over a hundred thousand casualties taking France.

Close quarters and they gut shot the second one....must have been something he said to them, or payback for Paris in a manner fellow troops would understand.

Yep. The failure of French leadership, not of the French soldier, is what must be considered. To be especially sarcastic: had the building of Paris not been threatened I suspect that the French leadership would have happily fought to the last drop of the French soldier’s blood.

I was watching a program on TV about the early days of WWII.
I was surprised (maybe shocked is a better word) to learn that in one huge tank battle, the Germans lost 156 tanks and the French, around 100. It sounds like the French were capable but poorly led.

Just ‘morons’ will do fine, but you could also try
‘idiot · imbecile · cretin

Let’s see
1939 French halt successful campaign against Germans, retreat (Saar offensive)
1940 Germans defeat French
1940 French defeat French (Battle of Dakar)
1941 British defeat French (Battle of Damascus)
1942 Americans defeat French (Operation Torch)
The French did perform well against the Italians in the Battle of the Alps in 1940.
