The French surrendered early on in WW2 to Hitler.
Only an idiot does not know French History.

Bring the “ghost of kiev” out of retirement and the”heroes” of snake island.. It’s so hard to imagine since putin died of cancer several times and the russian army has been destroyed over and over. The russkies are out of tanks, planes , and they’ve had to empty their prisons for human wave attacks.

Bullcrap. The tea drinking Brit surrender monkeys fled the battlefield and got on boats at Dunkirk and called it a huge victory.

In a 6 week battle the French suffered 20% more dead than we did in all of Vietnam. They inflicted 27k dead, 111k wounded, and 18k missing on the Germans.
The Brits fled and left the French flank open but the French actually tried to protect their retreat and evacuation.
Ultimately they were defeated by a modernized German Army with some very good new tactics. But only a jackass would call them cowardly and surrender prone.

In a reversal of all military math, the Brits at Singapore actually surrendered to an attacking Jap force a third of their size.

Try to keep up.

In WWI the French lost 1,385,000 dead and 4,266,000 wounded. The Brits lost 887k dead (including colonies) 1,675,000 wounded.

We never hear the end of Flanders Fields and poppies etc.
yet France lost 35% more dead and almost triple the wounded.
Do you have any idea what they did at Verdun? It was beyond all human endurance. Probably the most overall brutal disgusting battle in human history.

And then there is the brutality they endured with Napoleon in Russia.

And Dien Ben Phu? They were out generalled and ultimately defeated. But good god, nobody but a flaming jackass would call the French cowards at that battle.

Only an idiot (ahem... you) doesn’t know French history.
