200 years of propaganda later - "Hurr Durr France surrender duh"
French soldiers died in fighting alongside the US in Afghanistan. It was a deeply unpopular war, but after 9/11 the US invoked NATO article 5, so the French along with other European nations sent young men to die alongside American soldiers.
I don't think the freedom fries and "France surrendered" remarks are the problem.
It's the "Russians should invade them, and I'll encourage it." remarks from the next president.
Tens of thousands died defending France in 1940. They didn't turn tail and run, they were surrounded and cut off from supplies. They fought until it was impossible to fight.
Yep I'd love to see how many of the gun-owning cowards in the States would actually stand up and fight if it came to it lol
They'd definitely stand up
To get the remote from the other side of the room.
No, that's what their kids (and grandkids) are for
Don't need the remote they're only watching fox news
And they’ll definitely fight … for another beer
If it's to usher in facism? Probably a lot of them.
If it's a real fight worth fighting for.? Like, 10?
Eh, they talk a big talk, but if they were actually met with armed resistance they'd shit their rascals.
Jan 6 only happened because it was essentially allowed to.
Aren't you talking about WW2?
And then there was the resistance, who family fought even after it was impossible to fight.
More like 20 years.
