I mujst submit that there are several reasons why we knock the French:
1. DeGaulle is one big reason. He ran from France and the Germans in 1940, yet insisted that HE lead the folks who liberated France into Paris in WWII. His is a big ego which alienated many Americans, especially GI's.
2. DeGaulle got in a snit with the US in the 1960's and to spite us actually threatened to remove the interred GI Americans in France and return them to the US. Pathetic.
3. Most French, men and women, do not bathe or shower much. Who could like such people?
4. They are arrogant, self-serving, ignorant of anything non-French isolationists. They are not to be trusted in a fight. Who needs such people?
5. Degaulle got the Canadiens started when he visited the Worlds Fair in Montreal in 1968. He stirred up the French there, told them they were French, and should act like it. Ever since, the French Canadiens have been agitating and annoying everyone in Canada (which is really what French people do all over the world).
And finally, the French mostly love cats and hate dogs. Who ever could go for that?
And it is fun! :)
In Vietnam I once went one month without a shower. But because no one in my unit had a shower, It didn't matter. I guess that's how the French do it..
Real men (and women) like cats.
