Of course it never dawned upon you that the government was not "the
French"? Ever heard of something like the Résistence?

Sure.

So?

Good grief, are you really so dim? It takes an awful lot of courage
to do what they did. I suspect the vast majority of those who enjoy
dumb jokes about "the French" wouldn't have that courage.

Yes, we all know that some French resisted collaborating with the
Nazis. They were brave men and women who often died for their cause.
All of which has little to do with the topic, which was the Vichy
government and the vast majority of French who were content to wait it
out.

If you're trying to say the Resistance acted as a moral
counter-balance to the vast majority of French who sat on their hands
whilst under the yoke of the most immoral regime in modern history,
you'd be wrong.


Modern history is young yet, moron.
