they also surrendered when the first german set foot on their soil in ww2,though it must be said that the german buildup was watched by the world,and had the french resisted initially they would have been slaughtered.
their pomposity is entertaining though,and peter sellers kicked kato's butt every time
The French love their language (with good reason) and are very patriotic. Almost half as patriotic as Americans ().
And they're very aware of their cultural heritage. And they didn't surrender when the first German set foot on French soil. The French people never surrendered.

I think the U.S. military has done more for France than give them a few "ambulance drivers". This Harvard professor is either misquoted, misinformed, or lying.
The U.S. military did not defend France. It fought the Germans in France. During the (failed) defence of France in both WW1 and WW2, the U.S. did nothing. It remained neutral.

Amongst others, yes they did. And contributed very significantly towards that goal.
It would be a mistake however to portray those forces as deployed in any attempt to help France. They were on the way to Berlin, and France was the path of least resistance.
Well all I can tell you guys is, Germany had game LMAO. Here is an Army that was fighting all by itself on all fronts, against the British, Russian, Canadian, Americans and the list goes on and on, they were out numbered ten fold and they still put up one hell of a nasty fight. Bring it on down now.
Damn byotch dat aint no friggn moon fool, dat be a friggn space station byotch.

they were >invading< on all fronts,which is why they got owned and why hitler was in charge until he chose to take himself out
2. the usa intercepted a transmission from a german boat to the 3rd reich about a attack on americas ports. thats why the americans retaliated, they also wanted to help defend britain from the nazis because then britain was a very important ally , not only for the airports for american bombers but for their army before heading to france. the nazis were cut off by the brits when the nazis went after paris then they were killed. the french did a good job in 'holding down the fort'/defending their space.
3. with resistance fighters everywhere helping one another france was lucky to have got the message about this at all, from german resistance fighters.
4. this is the only major conflict to date the french have won along with the brits and americans(canadians, australians, newzealanders, norway, sweden the others that wernt mensioned) all power to them for staying alive.

Determination, they took on more then they could handle, they were so badly out number it was down right silly. There country was being bombed into oblivion, no matter how bad things were, no matter how impossible it was, they still held firm, they still gave it their all, and no matter how huge our advantages were, we still had the shit chewed out us by them. Even in 1944 when we allies thought we had won this war for sure, the Germans still managed to put forth a huge counter strike and put the whole notion of victory in question again. They showed a determination that very few countries and their peoples have ever shown in history. You can be thankful they are an ally today, because if there was ever a war against say China, the Germans will fight and they will bring that same determination they had then, with the right leadership they will be unbeatable. Winning was impossible, but they wouldnt accept that and they wouldnt quite thats the point. Bring it on down now.

yep righto
i like your quote.seen it many times in one form or another.if you could decide what 50% of your countries surplus was spent on what would it be?
Lowering company taxes (a bit) to atract investments and starting an initiation program for replacing all government owned vehicles with energy efficient ones (like on electricity or hydrogen) which would motivate the development of those networks so they would actually be profitable for the car manufacterers.
And of course if there's anything left I'd spend it on education.

No they showed determination about average when cornered.
They fought to the death because death was coming. It was coming to burn and kill and rape their women.
If there was ever a war against China, Germany would not be in it. It has no military capability in that region. They are beatable, they will always be beatable, and they would do well to remember it.
We are all beatable. Even superpowers with superweapons and supertroopers.
Anytime Germany begins to look in anyway unbeatbale ever again, I think there is a very large possibility that we will attack.
