I've made fun of the French all my life for being smelly cowards, but perhaps we Americans are the smelly cowards.

Sorry France. Clearly you know how to get shit done.

We Americans have been propagandized all our lives to look down on the French, even before they whole "freedom fries" dumbfuckery.

We need to show them more respect.

I used to get into arguments about the "cowards" thing. Like yeah, they forfeit a time or two and lost a few fights. So have most countries, whether they let you know about it or not.

They have also been a global super power for at least as long as America has existed, or longer, depending on what you consider to be a super power. So yeah, they brushed up against a couple of rough patches in that time lol

I think France has won more wars than any other nation in history.
