It was a joke, but now I cant help myself.Sylvanis wrote:
Not to get too far off topic, But what is with the whole french surrender thing? First off, when Germany invaded France they skirted around the Maginot line, the only defensive fortification between them and Germany which had cost them their entire military budget. Granted this defense was a joke and poorly planned from the beginning. But the fact is the were overrun in days, and could have kept fighting, but would have lost a lot of citizens [edit] civilians [/]. Everyone seems to not mind the fact that Italy didn't even try to resist. They just let whoever wanted to rule them in to do what they wanted.Kmarion wrote:
So, no one told us. Did the French surrender to him or what?
I really don't care one way or the other, I'm not a big fan of the french nor french myself. I just heard a joke from Jay Leno that ticked me off recently:
"This week the French soldiers have showed up in Afghanistan. Figures - just like the French to show up after the hard work has been done."
It just bothers me that people forget that the USA was only fighting in that war for 2 effing years. The rest of the world had already been fighting for longer than the total USA involvement. And even then they only fought because they were personally attacked, not because there were countries being destroyed and millions of people being murdered.
Apologies for the rant.
BTW Marion is French, check my name.
