I totally, 100% agree. They behaved heroically at the Battle of Verdun in WW1. And during WW2 the British were able to evacuate at Dunkirk largely because of stubborn defensive action by the French First Army at Lille.
Yes, France surrendered quickly in WW2. But that had nothing to do with French cowardice. The Germans were better organized and had better generals.

I’ve done some looking around the Internet. I could be wrong, but I think this Foreign Legion to Ukraine story is fake news.
French Generals were trying to fight WWI in 1940.
And as far as The Maginot Line, well, Patton said it best, “Fixed Fortifications are monuments to The Stupidity of Man.”
If it’s not fake news, it’s one of the craziest decisions on every level. Does very little for a big problem France face is at the moment, and opens them up to all kinds of problems. But you know, a common thread to these people like Macron, they don’t have children. He doesn’t care what kind of world he leaves behind.
