If any Americans there, we need to bring them home.

The French are pigs, and don't deserve the freedom that was paid for with Anglo-American blood.

A story I heard (can't be sure of it's truthfulness) is that when Lyndon Johnson was Senate Majority Leader he was visiting France. He met w/ De Gualle, who was ranting about America and Johnson waited until a lull in the whine-fest and said something like "As soon as I get back to the Senate I'm putting forward a bill to dig up every American soldier buried in France and bring him home." De Gualle almost had a stroke.

We should have "brought them home" at the time
they died. I just don't understand why the US
Government never did this. Now, our brave troops'
graves, are going to be vandalized. This is way
beyond disgraceful.

Don't be so hasty. There are plenty of French people who appreciate American sacrifices in both WWI and WWII. Remember that France has a large Muslem population of immigrants and they might be responsible for this.

When DeGaulle ordered U.S. troops to leave France in 1958, Eisenhower had his Secretary of State, Dean Acheson, pointedly ask the French ambassador if he wanted us to take the 60,000 buried there as well. (We should have seized the opportunity.) The French government did not respond.
