The French have spent eleven years in Afghanistan and lost 86 men fighting our war by our side. Feel free to question their judgement in getting involved in African wars but I think it’s time to retire the “French = chicken” jokes.

i agree. yes they screwed the pooch big time in 1940 but they defended paris in 1914 and we didn’t do any better in vietnam than they did. we lost the capital in the war of 1812 and were so pathetic in that war it was laughable, except for some frigate actions where our 44+ gun frigates beat up a bunch of british 28 gun frigates.
