First, the facts. France declared war on Germany, without having been attacked or threatened with attack, in September 1939, and surrendered in June 1940. That's a long five minutes. In that five-minute period, France took 300,000 military casualties, including 120,000 killed. (No, I didn't know that, either; I just googled "French casualties 1940" and found this.) The notion that the French army just ran away from the Germans is simply false, and it seems to me shameful to slander the dead in that way.
Hey its ok lie, only if your a RAT

No, I did not make a mistake. There isn't anybody in Europe my statement doesn't apply to. Who liberated you from Stalin's successors, the tooth fairy? The kindness of Gorby's heart?

Got out to where? Which had freedom why? You can squirm all you want, the eventual answer will be the same. The Brits can honestly say they both led and helped, though not that they could have done it without us. Nobody else on earth, free to say what they want and live as they please, can say even that much, about where they got the privilege. Ingraditude isn't becoming. It is what leads to the putdowns directed at France. Instead of defending their present conduct for their past suffering, you might look at present suffering in places like Iraq, and past conduct of certain conspicuous others. France didn't. Which is a moral failing. And that is why they are catching heck.

Train them to what? Surrender? This is good news. Syria and Iran next, followed by Saudi Arabia. They seem to have already trained Lybia.

I can just picture a French guy standing in front of Iraqi troop ranks saying, "Be brave, be loyal, be true...and keep your white flags where you can get to them quickly!"
