So why do you say the Air Force is cowardly for not letting YOU see
their site?

Because I don't see any other reason for blocking it.

Perhaps they just want to be selective as to whom they allow access.
If you came to my front door and demanded entry would you call me a
coward if I deny you entry?

Um, Scott? The French have a long and generally honourable military

What indication do you see on your monitor that says you are being
blocked? What does it say?

I guess we owe the French. They still seem ****ed about us coming over
in the 1940s to "help" them out. Now they're returning the favor...

Well this one has me stumped. Makes no sense. How would they know
which IP addresses are from France alone?

Address range assignments. They are usually linked to geographic locations.

It's not like any IP address that starts with 168 for example is from France.

No, but there are ranges that are assigned to France.

The browser can't reach the site. I can ping some of the sites, but they
don't answer a browser.

Are Americans still upset about the French paying for their independence?

I thought the implication was they were smart and wouldn't take up
fighting (which would be evidenced by that military history). Maybe I
misunderstood the Frenchman's posts...

What Frenchman?

They were there when the Americans hadn't a ghost of a chance against the
British.
