Frances defeats, greatly over hyped as they are, where almost all the result of incompetent decisions at the highest levels, where politics take precedent of sound strategy all too often in all the worlds militaries.
At battles such as Dien Bien Phu, a major French loss, all too often its ignored that the defeat was solely the result of top level commanders having the base built in the first place, and that no other army given the same resources could have done better. The fact the French kept fighting till they only held a single length of trench and one or two bunkers is also generally ignored. God forbid a western army shouldn't fight to the death for no gain.

I still say France is a disgrace to the Red White and Blue. Their flag should be YELLOW

Why, because there willing to lose 1.39 million men fighting an invader? Or because the response to shellfire on there capital is not panic but rather a massive counter bombardment and new business selling fragments?

Now that's a hell of a stout defence. It really was bad it wasn't quite enough...

Because they have no balls. They have not had a competant army since the days of Napoleon and they co-operated to with the Nazi extermination of the Jews. Plus they are second only to Itally in quickness of surrendering.

True on the Jews, though the same can be said for every nation save perhaps Denmark that was occupied by Germany in WW2. The rest is a load of shit. French troops surrender when defeated, the same can be said of every modern army, save the IJA in the mid 40's. Back up your bull or shut up.

How about the fact that in '40, the French troops surrendered without giving up a fight?
The fact that the main thing that slowed down the German advance was traffic jams?

Look Sea Skimmer maybe ur banging a Frog or something, the fact of the matter is, as mentioned on this board, the occupied french factories woked harder than the German ones during WW2. The fact of the matter is the French are prepared to sell out to the Iraqis for the sake of oil and fuck right and wrong. The fact of the matter is the French are slimy frogy bastards and don't deserve existance.

Wow, now Pounder is making hasty generalizations and calling for the extermination of an entire people!
Congrats! You're a Nazi!

So has been claimed, though I've seen no proof presented. The fact that the majority of French railway rolling stock was rendered unusable by railway worker sabotage and the divisions the Resistance kept tied down however is however well established. As is the vital disruption of German telephone communications on June 6th.
France looks out for France in the modern world. Same as every other single nation. Though the fact that the majority of the active French navy's firepower, including there only opeational CV is steaming the the Gulf suggests they may do a 180 at the last minute. They have before.

That's one of the most fucked-up statements I've ever heard.
I'm speechless.

That would be "you're" and "I'm."
Come back when you learn proper English capitalization and speeling of "you" and its variants.

Normal nonsense in the normal quantities. I've no problem with a little French-bashing(Just as I have no problem with American-bashing, English-bashing, Irish-bashing), but it would be wonderful if the Americans leaping to attack another group knew what they spoke of... Then again, this is the same country where you're taught WWII didn't start until 1941.

WTF is your problem with the french anyway?
The fact that they didn't fight a war they couldn't win until the death?
No one with a brain would do so.
The Vichy puppet government that cooperated with the Nazis?
That wasn't the fault of the french people.
The fact that the general population didn't do anything against the deportation of the jews? What could they have done anyway?
Fact is also that the French had one of the most active and brave resistance groups of the whole war.
