About some old bashing

I want to talk about relationship between France and USA.
I'm french, and even if people of my country don't like the way of thinking of America, we respect it.

So, why, when I go on 4 chan and I see a topic about a french subject, I read always France bashing.

France, a normal country in a normal world, is so hated in America ? Why ? Our history is full of friendship!

Think of Lafayette for example

The only reason that france got taken over in the first place is because of the complete incompetence of the French army.

A couple of points:
* First, they were facing blitzkrieg. This was a new type of warfare not seen before, and a radical departure from what was expected.

* Second, the British were solidly fucked by the Germans in this offensive too. The British Expeditionary Force was right there along with the French near Belgium. This was a joint endeavour, so the British had a major hand in planning.

Sorry, mate, you were caught with your pants down. While historically English have been better fighters than French, if you had been in France's shoes, you'd have been just as solidly fucked. The only thing that saved you was the channel, and eventually Germany turning on the USSR.
