So I guess you think the French were never brave...So just how do you think France defeated Austria, Prussia, captured Moscow etc. under Napoleon? What about the 1.5 million dead Fenchman who died in W.W. I.? What about the battle of Verdun, or the Marne?

Never said that. They did well until post-WW1. Must have been the mustard gas that sucked the backbone right out of the French after all that.

frenchie military victories since WW1 have been pretty pathetic ... Vichy france, den bien phu, algeria ... really good track record there.
