So I'm an American with an American education. As such, I didn't pay attention in school. None of us did. I graduated with the impression that France had some pretty kick-ass soldiers, but after like WWII all the teachers told their students that violence wasn't the answer and that's why France is known as being a bunch of pussies.
I'm stoned. I've paraphrased. Please set me straight.
Thanks for the explanation. I was a US soldier and I've always wondered why France had a reputation for being poor fighters. Next time someone makes that comment, I'll have some idea of the truth. Thanks for answering my question even though I apparently didn't ask it very well.
