If it wasn't for the French we would still be part of England.
Even though most French are ass holes we owe them alot. Ron |

The new leader of the Democrats in the House is from your area. She says she's not a leftist. Would that mean she's from the French wing of the Democrat party?
German's marching in the shade - that's great. Wonder how long it will be before they do that again? Stay healthy, Andy |

The French Revolution
Was the only war they won......that's because they were fighting each other.
How many Frenchmen does it take to defend Paris?.......... Nobody knows..........it's never been done. |

The Complete Military History of France
The Complete Military History of France?
- Gallic Wars - Lost. In a war whose ending foreshadows the next 2000 years of French history, France is conquered by of all things, an Italian. - Hundred Years War - Mostly lost, saved at last by female schizophrenic who inadvertently creates The First Rule of French Warfare: "France's armies are victorious only when not led by a Frenchman." Sainted. - Italian Wars - Lost. France becomes the first and only country to ever lose two wars when fighting Italians. - Wars of Religion - France goes 0-5-4 against the Huguenots - Thirty Years War - France is technically not a participant, but manages to get invaded anyway. Claims a tie on the basis that eventually the other participants started ignoring her. - War of Revolution - Tied. Frenchmen take to wearing red flowerpots as chapeaux. - The Dutch War - Tied. - War of the Augsburg League/King William's War/French and Indian War - Lost, but claimed as a tie. Three ties in a row induces deluded Frogophiles the world over to label the period as the height of French military power. - War of the Spanish Succession - Lost. The War also gave the French their first taste of a Marlborough, which they have loved every since. - American Revolution - In a move that will become quite familiar to future Americans, France claims a win even though the English colonists saw far more action. This is later known as the "de Gaulle Syndrome", and leads to The Second Rule of French Warfare: "France only wins when America does most of the fighting." - French Revolution - Won, primarily due the fact that the opponent was also French. - The Napoleonic Wars - Lost. Temporary victories (remember the First Rule!) due to leadership of a Corsican, who ended up being no match for a British footwear designer. - The Franco-Prussian War - Lost. Germany first plays the role of drunk Frat boy to France's ugly girl home alone on a Saturday night. - World War I - Tied and on the way to losing, France is saved by the United States. Thousands of French women find out what it's like to not only sleep with a winner, but one who doesn't call her "Fraulein." Sadly, widespread use of condoms by American forces forestalls any improvement in the French bloodline. - World War II - Lost. Conquered French liberated by the United States and Britain just as they finish learning the Horst Wessel Song. - War in Indochina - Lost. French forces plead sickness, take to bed with the Dien Bien Flu - Algerian Rebellion - Lost. Loss marks the first defeat of a western army by a Non-Turkic Muslim force since the Crusades, and produces The First Rule of Muslim Warfare: "We can always beat the French." [This rule is identical to the First Rules of the Italians, Russians, Germans, English, Dutch, Spanish, Vietnamese and Esquimaux.] - War on Terrorism - France, keeping in mind its recent history, surrenders to Germans and Muslims just to be safe. Attempts to surrender to Vietnamese ambassador fail after he takes refuge in a McDonald's. The question for any country silly enough to count on the French should not be "Can we count on the French?", but rather "How long until France collapses?" "Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without an accordion. All you do is leave behind a lot of noisy baggage." Or, better still, the quote from last week's Wall Street Journal: "They're there when they need you." Smitty

I saw on the news last night were people are now calling french fries "Freedom Fries" in protest of the French. I do believe they pulled us out of the fire though during the revolution and misguided as they are still respect the country as a whole for that.

Pay Back
My opinion, we have paid France back for the Revolution. I call the payback, World War I and II, and post WWII support (remember Truman was going to back and independent Vietnam, until DeGaul said he need colonies.). :ek:

I am no huge supporter of the French but I must point out that “Richard the Lion Hearted” (Third Crusade) was actually French, he couldn’t even speak English. The object of the Fortifications on the “Maginot Line” was to deny the Germans access to France from the areas they protected, in this the “Line” was a success. Also the French and British casualties during this period of WWII were certainly not “hiding behind” the Maginot Line. "This is a very vicious animal; when attacked, he defends himself." Notice posted at the Paris Zoo. insight into the French (European/pacifist) mentality, any creature that defends itself when attacked is “very vicious”. |
