What's to celebrate? How difficult is it to defeat the French in battle anyway?

Don't forget, that was in the 1860's, when the French still had a military reputation! French military incompetence did not fully bloom until the Prussians knocked the stuffings out of them in 1870-71 and during the First World War. The French had a mutiny in 1917 that was so bad there were regiments which were classically decimated (meaning 1 in 10 was executed). And, of course, it all went downhill from there. The French haven't won a war at all since WWI and, since for all of Napoleon's victories he was ultimately defeated, they haven't won a war without help since the time of Louis XIV - except against natives.

Speaking of which, did you ever do a Google search on "French Military Victories"? Try it and see what you get.

Well, if France had won, the Mexicans would be waving white flags instead of what they are waving HERE now.
I will never go to Mexico again! My pesos stays here!

Lol! My sentiments exactly! A classroom full of first graders could have done the same in half the time.
