Ummm... I don’t think that’s an accurate summation of France’s military history, but it’s late (I’ve just returned from a trip abroad) and I am tired...

Quick, someone call Germany and tell them that if they act fast and promise to eradicate French culture and replace it with their own, they can invade France and nobody will do anything about it.
Oh, and no slaughtering the Jews (or anyone else) this time...
Otherwise, go to town!

French army falling apart, documents showYou'd think they'd learn.
Isn't this what caused Napoleon's defeat against the Russians?

When a country values social welfare programmes over defence, this is bound to happen.

Well, someone tell all the Islamic nations. The time is now for “Regime change”... /sarc
The French are simply stupid. They chose between entitlements and National Defense. We, in the United States, should freakin PAY HEED!

The French are simply stupid. They chose between entitlements and National Defense. No, they didn't. They got both.
The French have not had to pay for a credible National Defense ever since God created the Pax Americana.
That goes for the rest of the European Union.
And Canada too.

But they have White Flags in abundance; starched, pressed, neatly stacked, and at the ready; should the call come.

A nation can afford either:
Effective National Defense System
or
Socialist Welfare State
And before they say the Commies did both, they must be reminded that the Communist "social welfare state" was only third world level for those who survived the purges and famines -- and their governments failed.
