"Many of us have relatives who died during World War II trying to save these people from the mess they got themselves into.

Mess they got themselves into? fighting a war with a huge aggressor while the USA supplied Germany with industrial assistance? until Pearl Harbor changed things? what a thing to say ......

Also for the record the French returned some 450 pilots back to the UK during the Battle of Britain. Without those pilots the UK would have fallen to the Germans. many US pilots and seamen where included in those rescued.

Oh, you feel *we* got you into the WWII mess? Interesting.

For the record, tens of thousands of Americans died trying to extricate the French from the mess they were in. And you feel *we* were responsible?

Not surprising it's the French point of view.

You've got a really interesting view on history, IMO.

I guess you can take the microbiologist out of France but you can't take France out of the microbiologist.
