The saying c'est la guerre was so popular during WW2 that it morphed into an expression of resignation.

Did your vehicle break down? C'est la guerre.

You don't know a certain language? C'est la guerre.

I was once fluent in French, and I can still read enough to find the way that site is written mildly humorous.
