Well, you have to admit - France does lose a lot of ground to National shrines to honor the wounded and dead of battle....
of course maybe if they’d done a little better job of defending themselves, maybe there wouldn’t be so many shrines to foreigners that died there.
You mean they should have done what the Nazi did -- redirect their entire economy into becoming a world-class fighting machine? Do you know much about the fight the French put up -- or are you simply parroting what "everybody knows"?
