Why France didn't go to Iraq...

yeah that and their other little private colonial wars...like ALgeria and Vietnam didnt go to well. Plus after Algeria all the crazies moved on over to Paris suburbs.

Then the French got smart and banned religous garments from their school system to make it truly non denominational and secular. The happy people who would prefer thier daughters wearing Hijabs or Burkas werent to thrilled...been down hill ever since.

Ahhhhh the French, they are socialist by nature and not up to fighting but great at surrendering. I got a good laugh from the makers of Frenches Mustard. They made it very clear that they were not a French product and the only thing that Frenches mustard had in common with the French is that both are yellow.

The socialist in France are much like those here in America. Not only will they invite their enemies to live with them but will even pay their exspenses with a welfare system. Of course the French are still Infidels to the Muslims and in the end the Muslims will either run France and their nucular bombs or the French will raise the amount they give the terrorist to quiet them down for a short while (apeasement)

Edited to say; These are the same kind of socialist democrats that voted to take away guns in SF.

Just my thoughts

They sure could use a well-regulated militia about now... it's too bad about their government's shortsightedness.
 
I was stationed in France for 31 months...

These people aren't revolutionaries like Washington and Franklin and Adams.

They are born from a generation of injustice and wholesale guillotine murders.

To them justice was killing innocent families of the Aristocracy who's only crime was to have been born into that wealthy class.

They afforded them no mercy and gave them only "kangaroo" trials if any trial at all!

They only know how to hate and deride their friends, and embrace their enemies.

Besides they are the most singleminded self-serving people in the world. :p
 
And they make crappy, crappy movies!

Did anyone else waste their time on "High Tension"?


Started out good, was really actually pretty good, and then the end was a big pile of dogs#!t.

For those of you who say French soldiers per se are cowards

Verdun

Was Verdun a victory or defeat for France?

Let's not condescend to others' level of erudition if we cannot get the right form of "you're," ey? :rolleyes:

Your kidding me right?

Well it is hard to see 400,000 casualties on the French side in one battle as a victory and 1916 is a long way back. Not many of those Frechmen left. Could you point to a more recent victory?

Read the price of Glory (Alistair Horne) and The Road to Verdun (Ian Ousby) and get back to me when you are ready to debate :)

I am second to no one in my disdain for the French and Germans, I prefer to express my disdain with historical/sociological/politcal facts rather than trite slogans...:)

I respect history and read it often but when talking about victories I ask at what cost? The French marched their troops in front of German guns in a massive slaughter and then gave the commanding general noteworthy praise for doing it.

Sorry but that's not a victory to me.

I think you are confusing the British at the Somme or the French in Champagne with the verdun battle.

Here it is in a nutshell: Verdun was planned by Falkenheyn as a plan to "bleed the French white". The French, by refusing to bend, made the Germans bleed just as badly...Ils ne passeront pas. Just when the French were at their breaking point, the British sacrifed 20,000 lives on the Somme to take away the German reinfocements that may have turned the tide at Verdun. Once Fort vaux was recaptured, the geramn back was broken.In a sense, you could call verdun the Stalingrad of WW1...sometimes victory is measured in more than lives/terittory

PS You may also want to read The Myth of the Great War by John Mosier for a slightly contrary, yet excellent view
