Can you imagine if the French would have gotten this upset about Hitler taking over their country. The USA would have never been needed.France was bled dry during World War I while President Wilson* refused to sell them any armaments, pretending that both sides were morally equal. They hadn't recovered by WWII, nor have they yet. God help them.

You'd never know by their attitude that they hadn't recovered. They've played the arrogant fool all this time, trying to be something they aren't. They've always thought of themselves better than everyone else. I guess they're finally finding out that they aren't.

We can't forget the French Resistance. People to be revered for all time.

Balderdash.
The Germans were bled just as dry, and also had onerous treaties, reparations, and severe restrictions placed on them, as well, and it was those same Germans who came, saw, and kicked French ass.
