The French in their history haven’t cared enough to fight for their country.
So, the leaders Vercingetorix, Clovis, Charles Martel, Charlemagne, Turenne, Conde’, Maurice de Saxe, Massena, Murat, Davout, Ney, Soult, Lannes, Napoleon I, Marbot, Bazaine, MacMahon, Foch, Joffre, DeGaulle, Lattre de Tassigny, LeClerc, Moulin and the 1.9 million and the 600,000 soldiers of France dead in the first and second world wars count for nothing?
