No BS
Apparently the monarch viewed white as a symbol of royalty so they made that their flag for 15 years.

One of the confederate flags was nearly all white.

The Bourbon flag was white with flour de lis, before the revolution, and Napoleon took power after that shite show. Your post is historically absurd.

The French embattled in trench warfare in WW1 was pretty hardcore.

Oh I know, I'm a francophile myself. I just got a kick of the irony that they adopted a plain white flag.

The third national, it’s a beautiful flag.

Idiocy of the plan aside, the French garrison at Dien Bien Phu fought hard, in the most awful circumstances.
And the French also performed well in Algeria.

Why is the Champs de Elysee lined with trees?

The French fought courageously in WW1, better than the loser brits who refused to engage the Germans.

Not to mention how courageous they fought under Napoleon

I have a strong French ancestry, but they came over in the 1600’s back when France was still an international badass. I don’t claim the frogs of today.

Similar for me, ancestor was a vineyard owning winemaker. Lived to be 105.

My ancestry ran the great tournaments in the Middle Ages and my last name is a derivative of what we use as slang, tourney.

I’m not a Francophile but Napoleon took the mothafricking Kremlin by force.
That singular accomplishment gets cred.

France gets a bad rap for surrendering quickly in WWII but they lost 85k men in 6 weeks of fighting. Germany lost 27k men. In comparison, the US lost less than 4500 in Iraq and Afghanistan combined since 2001.
