Why do the septics pretend that the French don have a proud military tradition?
Sceptics, you mean gun totting,pee brained cowboys like George Bush. This common misconception is the result of the French refusing to aid America in its immoral and disastrous invasion of Iraq. They are also known for surrendering to the Germans after few weeks of fighting in WWII, but so did the Polish, Dutch,BEF(British expeditionary force), Czechs(most of Europe). The Russians would have also surrendered quickly if they didn’t have such a huge country. In addition, brain dead red necks claim, in between Seasons of Miniature usa flag waving, that the French owed them for saving France in WWI(the us only fought 1 battle in this war) and WWII. What these cretins conveniently fail to remember is that without the aid of France the good old USA would never have won their fight for independence and America would still be a British colony. The French do have a proud military tradition and excelled in some periods such as the revolutionary wars. In addition, they had a large empire in Asia
cute. Insult us, and then ask a question. Actually, anyone who’s at all educated knows the French had a very proud military tradition, at least up until 1870, and probably right through to 1918. However, their successes in the 20th century have been few, and never without considerable aid from other major nations. I suppose that this lack of victory in the 20th and 21st Century is the basis of the perception that all the French are really any good at is kissing and surrendering.
Most septics seem entirely unaware of the fact that had it not been for a famous French general, Lafayette, they would not have won the Revolutionary War, because it was he and his military skills plus lots of French troops who really won the day and not a bunch of boys with muskets and no shoes. Just because the French got done in during the BlitzKrieg of 1940 does not mean the French have a crap military history. Their whole history of glorious including their continuing Revolution.
