Well you've not shown yourself in a good light at all in this thread.
I think you should rethink you attitudes and preconceptions.

I don't have attitudes and preconceptions -- but I do have a minor in
history from the University of Wisconsin,




Oow!

and another 30 years of
World War II studies under my belt. My father was a Captain in the US
Army Air Corps during the war, and was stationed in France and Germany
in 1945. To assume I'm not intimately familiar with France's wartime
history and post-war behavior is presumptuous.

Sorry if stating facts hurts your pride, but I calls 'em as I sees
'em. The fact remains that the French were humiliated in 1940, many
French acted dishonorably under the Nazi yoke, and they have yet to
fully come to terms with their fate as a former world power.

Don't despair, however. WRT France not gracefully accepting their
lessened global position, they aren't alone. Every dominant world
power eventually faces the same fate, and the U.S.'s turn is coming.



You're an idiot.
