I know it's fun to mock the French military, but they deserve a pass after the horrors their country experienced in WW1. Nearly the entire Western front was fought on French soil.

Not mocking the French military but they absolutely do not deserve a pass. There are too many graves all over Europe filled with men from around the world who died undoing the incompetence of the French military.

I’m thinking part of there decision making on not to fully engage is due to the great losses of WW1. The French and British fought over 4 years in WW1 and I’m guessing the last thing the wanted was to commit to another Great War risking so much human life and national resources. It’s easy to say now, that the French were foolish. But in reality of that time, I can understand somewhat of why they withdrew.
