You into trolling now?

I'd have thought a Frenchman would be the last nationality on earth to take the pee when it came to a lack of military exploites.

Besides....if you opened your eyes and engaged your brain you would see that this was already posted in the UK Politics thread less than a fortnight ago.

No retaliatory posts everyone and if not removed within 24 hours further action will ensue.

France has the best military record of any european nation, quote from the second book of general ignorance byohn Lloyd and John Mitchinson : :yeah:

"According to historian Niall Ferguson, the French have fought more military campaigns than any other European nation and won twice as many battles as they have lost, of the 125 major European wars fought since 1495, the French have participated in fifty – more than both Austria (forty-seven) and England (forty-three). And they’ve achieved an impressive batting average: out of 168 battles fought since 387 BC, they have won 109, lost forty-nine and drawn ten.this makes France the most successful military power in European history !

The British always prided themselves on superiority at sea, but this was only because they realised they could never win a land war on the Continent.

The French army has, for most of history, been the largest, best equipped and most strategically innovative in Europe. At its best, led by Napoleon in 1812, it achieved a feat that even the Nazis couldn’t repeat: it entered Moscow.

These remarkable achievements help explain another French military victory. Whether it is ranks (general, captain,corporal, lieutenant...); equipment (lance, mine, bayonet,epaulette, trench...); organisation (volunteer, regiment, soldier, barracks...) or strategy (army, camouflage, combat, esprit de corps, reconnaissance...), the language of warfare is written in one language : French."

I think france gets a bad reputation I mean if enemy troops were in your capital surrendering isn't unreasonable. I also think part of the reason why they have a bad reputation is because the British never liked them so whenever they won a war they severely punished the french its impressive to see how many times france got back up after losing almost everything

the brits and even the yankees are still unable to cast away their ‘i save the world’ mentality during world wars. I’m not ignoring the contributions made by anglo-saxons. But please don’t exaggerate what they did. The anglo-saxons didn’t liberate france until 1944 when the soviets turned the tide in eastern front. Open your eyes or you’ll be embarrassing your ancestors
