I have mixed feelings on this one. The French probably have a moral obligation. On the other hand it is 70 years later and a paid for trip would be a vacation for the men. We are not French nationals. We voluntarily entered the war for our own reasons not because of France. Americans seek a lot of “freebies.”

I’m not sure they have a moral obligation. But if the article is correct, the underlying source is the NY Post, they offered to pay the expenses, then backed out.

I just can’t beat up on the french, there were brave
frenchmen in both wars and in the First world war they
suffered horrendous casualties. Had the US suffered the
same numbers as Verdun we would have been torn apart too
the second time.
