"The majority of Frenchmen are caucasian just as I am. How the hell can you call that racist, and retain a shred of credibility??"
Racism isn't just a black and white issue my friend, you should know that and since you seem to think your ethnic slur suggests you think yourself superior to the French, that makes it a racist comment.
" In WW2 the Russians never got close the France,"
Dumbie, the Russians occupied the Nazi's on the Eastern Front and killed hundreds of thousands....they captured Berlin.
" and when Britain tried to invade, they got their butts beat, and were kicked out at Dunkirk. They did not hold the Western Front on their own. When they left Dunkirk, there was no western front. It was all Britain could do to save their own island through the Battle of Britain."
The British Isles were the Western Front until D-Day....!!!
"Had it not been for the RAF, with a number of American pilots, they would be speaking German right now. British troops could not, and did not return to mainland Europe until D-Day, which they could not have managed with American troops, and leadership."
And we could not have managed it without them and their homeland from which the attack was launched. They also broke the code of the Enigma Machine, a fact that a man with your handle should know. Enigma decoding played a huge unheralded part in the outcome of the war!!!
"At least read some history before making an ass out of yourself. Never mind, it impossible for you not to make an ass out of yourself, because your chances of credibility vanish with you high degree of stupid."
I think you've been clearly shown to be shallow so far, but hey there's still hope....just do some research, see below.
"The French were soundly defeated at Dien Ben Phew (sp?), "
That would be Dien Bien Phu...
"and would have been trapped had we not stepped in to rescue the troops they had left."
On the contrary, the French were not trapped....they designed and built Dien Bien Phu in hopes of gaining a pitched battle with the Viet Minh. The same characters that beat us beat them and we had much better weapons. At their peak the French had 500,000 troops in country, just about equal to the number we had (575K I think) at our peak years later. AND WE DID NOT STEP TO RESCUE THE TROOPS THEY HAD LEFT......!!! History buff, my ass.....
"Yes, we left Vietnam in disgrace, and you can thank politicians for that."
And were politicians responsible for the French loss also? Did we both suffer from lack of troops and technology?
'The only reason France helped us at all in the Revolution, was because they hated the British."
Hate is no reason to go to war....security and economics usually are the reason unless religious zealots are in control.
" All they did, as a nation, was send one of their fleets for one blockade. Lafayette came on his own, and personally financed his involvement in the Revolutionary War."
Didn't they recruit the Indians to help against Brits?
"Go back to school. All of this is taught in Middle School. I guess you dropped out about that time."
If your memory of the school you were taught this is as good as your facts, you and the school fail...... |
