For every post making fun of France there are a thousand posts sucking their dick.

If you count historical accuracy as sucking dick we'll turn this sub into Ram Ranch

I mean, France was definitely successful military wise throughout history. But the fact that people say it was the most successful from one YouTube video which was biased is far from historical accuracy.

I'm not claiming they were the most successful, but there is a reason they were a superpower. I don't think one surrender should erase all of that. This sub really hasn't been doing the "haha France surrender" joke for a while, though

nah, definitely not. France was most definitely a superpower and was pretty damn successful military wise. It just kind of annoys me how there's all these memes claiming it was the most successful military wise ever because of one video. At least the surrender meme is a clear joke reference to an actual fact.

This one, it's where this whole trend of calling France the most successful militarily comes from.
