Sounds like they need to learn their history. IIRC, the French Army won the
Battle of Verdun, under the heaviest shelling and most hideous battlefield
conditions in history. Call that what you will, but cowardly it is not.
The Germans won in 1940 because the French generals could not cope with the new
tactics of the German army quickly enough, not because their troops were weak or
their weaponry in any way deficient. And don't get me started on the resistance.
And finally, didn't the French aid the fledgling USA during the American
Revolution?
I'm going to stop now. The whole argument is absurd. If this is what our
"freedom" looks like, then God Save The King.
Take care,
Soren
