I learned something new yesterday while reading a story about General Eisenhower. When the American and British troops first arrived to fight in North Africa during WW2, they were fighting against French Vichy troops, not the Germans.

They're not just cheese eating surrender monkeys. They're much, much worse.

PARIS, France -- The French government announced today that it plans to ban fireworks at Euro Disney until further notice following last night's fireworks display that caused more than 1,000 soldiers at a nearby French army garrison to surrender to the Disney authorities.

When questioned, one soldier stated "we thought war had broken out!" He further explained "We are Frenchmen. It was our duty to surrender!"

Attempts to contact senior French governmental officals were unsuccessful. They were believed to be hiding under their bed sheets and unavailable for comments.

DUDE!

The French banned fireworks more than 20 years ago!

I know...
...I had some firecrackers in my carryon and thought it would be cool to hear them against the tin roof of the hotel.

They sent out a SWAT team.

(Of course I only saw them in passing, I went to have lunch outside the hotel.)

Many don't know that we had an undeclared naval war with France(1798-1800)

Commodore Barry
Barry held the courtesy title of Commodore from this period since he served as squadron commander of the fleet which assembled in the West India Sea. He commanded all American ships during the undeclared naval war with France (1798-1800) and personally captured several French merchantmen. Barry finished his active career as head squadron commander of the United States Naval Station in the West Indies at Guadaloupe (1798-1801). Perhaps most significantly he trained numerous future sea heroes who won fresh laurels in the War of 1812.
