Contrary to popular belief......there ARE a lot of 'real men' in France. Just look at a generation ago.....the French Resistance. Unbelievable what they did. Their governments may have been wusses, but France isn't devoid of real men (AND women) who love their country, absolutely HATE what it has become, and want to see her strong again.
I predict this man will be elected.
There actual accomplishments were quite limited. Most of the sucessful operations were carried out by the communists or their socialist allies.
I hope you arew 110% correct! We need for France to get some political backbone.
'Contrary to popular belief......there ARE a lot of 'real men' in France. Just look at a generation ago.....the French Resistance."
Not so fast. Much (if not most) of the Resistance was communist. They were not very heroic, and today we would call them terrorists, which is what they were. They certainly were not uniformed, as the then-current laws of war required.
After WWII, the Geneva accords were revised to allow such "partisan" combatants, and we are paying the price for this but of stupidity to this day. We erased a very important line between combatants and non-combatants. It played right into the hands of our enemies.
Anyway, the Resistance was not a generation ago, bit three generations ago (counting 20 years to a generation).
If France had been anything but a disintegrated land, they would never have been occupied in the first place. After all, they were richer than Germany at the time. However, they were dominated by leftists, and had long since lost their elan.
By now the entire country participated...../s/
But I will never denigrate those who served humanity rather than the nazis and I am thankful to know there are those in France who understand the stakes.
