you are a dumbass. Honestly, have you ever read or heard anything about the revolutionary war? The French HELPED the Americans win it.
And yes, i do recall WWII quite well, which is why i said IN YOUR LIFETIME. Were you alive during it? Doubtful. And as has already been pointed out, if you're gonna rank on France for that, you might as well go after just about all of Europe. Had Hitler had a path to the US, i guarantee you they would have been crushed too. The US had a nearly non-existent standing military after world war I. And its not as if the French didn't do anything to help, ever heard of the resistance? Of course Americans downplay it because they're the big dominant force who had to come rescue the weak europeans from the big bad germans. The French resistance was crucial in the Normandy landings, doing things like knocking out communications lines and just fucking with the germans to cause chaos. And you know, the French are very grateful for the Americans help, that country will never forget what the Americans did for them. Its a shame the americans can't be a bit humble, and not feel superior in every way because they wiped out Germany's weaker soldiers.
I'm not trying to downplay what the Americans did, it was a great thing and i respect every man who helped liberate France, but I find it disrespectful to them for this generation of Americans to be like "fuck the French pussies, we saved their asses!" Thats an attitude that I am willing to bet most veterans would frown upon.
