it's pretty bloody stupid to be pouring fine wines down the drain in futile petulance at some dim perception of what is frenchness

I have a 1917 model 30 06. One of 200,000 made for the French army according to the Remington museum curator. When I bought it years ago, it was in perfect condition. The seller told me it had never been fired and was only dropped once or twice.

The French refused to fight twice in forty years when the Germans were sitting in their cafes drinking coffee and cognac by day and spending nights sleeping with their women.

Drink their wine or throw it away. But never ever count on them when the chips are down.
