Fair enough and maybe I went overboard. However I do not, nor have I ever viewed the French as an ally. They will be the first people to stab you in the back, they are a country quick to aid your enemies, and they opened the door to this problem by appeasing it. Needless to say, the thought of any Americans dying to save them again does not make me very happy.
My uncle's ship was sunk on its way to Omaha Beach. He was in the water quite a while before the British saved him. Several shipmates died, and my uncle never went swimming voluntarily again.
