Why do French tanks have rear view mirrors?
So they can see the front lines.

What's the difference between a French fighter and French toast?
The toast is tougher when being cut with a dull knife.

French military jokes are pretty dumb. They have an impressive military history. They might have softened their touch a bit since WWII but losing entire generations of young men will do that to you.

If I didn't have a family I'd join the Legion. I don't really give a shite about France but it would be pretty fricking cool to say you were in the French Foreign Legion.

You don't declare war the German army and then give up when they invade you.
That's essentially punching a guy in the face and begging him not to kick your arse.

The French didn't want Paris bombed like Warsaw so they gave up. This gave a strong hold to the Germans to bomb London and other British cities. There is a great untrust between British and French people. We share in the views of the British.
America also lost thousands of men by having to take back France from the Germans. A friend of mine, Mr. Bill that I ate breakfast with every morning before he died stormed the beaches at Normandy and faught in the battle of the bulge.
Mr. Bill said he respected the Germans more than he did the French because they put up a bigger fight.

How would you feel if the US government let Hitler take over and sit idol as he walked into our major cities and raised a Nazi flag over the Whitehouse?
That's what France did.

We all better pray that does not happen... France is likely to invoke Article 5 (if I remember correctly) potentially getting all of NATO involved...

Turned out pretty well for them.

Turned out pretty bad for everyone else involved.

Ok, that's a nice story. My great uncle fought on islands in the pacific. That doesn't mean I view Japanese military history as existing in 1930-1940s bubble and I hate all Japanese.
My point is I think many Americans revert to a lazy analysis of French military history and make dumb jokes.

Yeah dude I get. A long time ago they used to fight. Then in the biggest war in history they folded like a cheap suit and laid an egg.
The 2011 LSU football team may very well be the greatest college football team of all time but no one gives a shite because they blew it in the big one.

Heard few mins ago the UN Security Council has called on all nations to fight Isis by any means. Bout time. But good nonetheless
