Vita_Aeterna 04/04/18 3:53:46 AM #58:	Dash_Harber posted... Tyranthraxus posted... Dash_Harber posted... GOATTHlEF posted... Why does France get a bad rep for being cowards again? Historical rivalry between the French and English that bled into a weird stereotype that, for some reason, became prominent in the US. Historically, they actually have had some really impressive victories and where a major world power for many years. Ironically, this includes a substantial amount of men they devoted to the US War of Independence, with Lafayette being a particularly revered general even to this day. It has more to do with how quickly they surrendered in WW2 nevermind they got fucking surprise attacked and had no fucking support from anyone else until it was too late. That said they've had some logic defying victories in the 100 years war and with Napoleon Bonaparte. Yeah, fair enough. Like you said, though, the defeat in WWII wasn't so much a quick surrender as it was having their throat slit before they could even start fighting. Hell, even the British soldiers in France were so overwhelmed that they tried to GTFO in a pretty panicked fashion. It still doesn't make any sense as to why Americans dare to mock the French for cowardice. Lafayette and the French forces are arguably one of the strongest factors to American victory in the War for Independence. Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and Alexander Hamilton were all close friends of Lafayette, Washington particularly was a father figure to Lafayette. Lafayette is incredibly important to the founding of the Republic as well. Additionally, Lafayette's buried in France with American soil and flag over the grave of Lafayette. --- "Bear Island knows no king but the King in the North, whose name is STARK." <cite>Vita_Aeterna posted [p:899028311] in French pol...

Lafayette and the French forces are arguably one of the strongest factors to American victory in the War for Independence. And also the Statue of Liberty as a gift to show how much mutual respect each country had for each other. Also, Alexis de Tocqueville's book, Democracy in America. It doesn't make sense, I agree. The label was literally created due to the French soldiers surrendering in North Africa, which they were doing so they could join the Allies and finally get a chance to topple Vichy France. The only other reason that the label is used, imo, has to do with how artsy French people are, so to some of the lesser evolved among us, they appear to be a little effeminate. Honestly, I have no clue why though. I mean, without William of Normandy, there wouldn't be Brittany/Britain and there wouldn't be the US. The people who think like that are ignorant of history and really shouldn't be listened to or acknowledged. France is an amazing nation with a rich culture and history. They just shouldn't have fucked over North Africa with their farming practices which has caused the Sahara to rapidly expand and has just destroyed an ecosystem for generations. --- If you're not looking for any honest discussion, agreement, meeting halfway or middle ground, don't bother arguing with me.
