Americans have a joke that goes:
>"French rifles for sale! Never fired, only dropped once!"
How the french like to comment on these accusations of cowardice?
>>

>>
>>223370031
I don't understand why people joke about us surrendering. They say it's because we surrendered in ww2, as if the surrender happened in a void and didn't follow a military defeat. There is such an insistence on it that I think people perhaps don't know the french fought or they think surrenders only comes from cowardice and they don't realize every war ends with a surrender. I think people think this because this is a famous surrender. But I don't understand why this surrender is famous in the first place
It feels like a stereotype that created itself, it just doesn't make sense. It would have made sense if people said the French suck so bad at warfare they lost in six weeks, but that's not what people say
>>
>>223370176
*Instead they say we are cowards, but I don't know where in 1940 they see signs of cowardice, besides the surrender itself, which is really the sole reason for why people think we were cowards, even though surrender is the natural continuation of a defeat
>>
>>223370176
Maybe because the surrender came relatively very early on, like 8 months and 20 since the beginning of the second global kerfuffle. The allies weren't counting on this at all, they thought you'd actually pull your own weight.
>>
>>223370031
>NOOOOO IF YOU DON'T DIE FOR YOUR PEDO BILLIONAIRE CLASS YOU'RE A COWARD
I don't get this. Americans themselves are instructed not engage a hostile target unless they outnumber them 3 to 1 and have air superiority because they know no one wants to die for their shithole.
>>
>>223370073
>mperialist aggression
Says the country who we are a colony of

Euros have no self awareness. The only reason America exists and most of the conflicts in the world happen is because of some imperialist shit they started

But they think now that they fumbled the bag and are weak cocksleeves for greater powers they think they can cry out in pain at the evil imperialist US. Were the most benevolent hegemon the world has ever seen. The proof of this is you not being forced to suck American cock (you do it willingly)

>>223370345
Yes but my point is that the surrender followed a defeat. It's not like the French suddenly decided they didn't feel like fighting anymore and gave up. The Germans had taken over half of the country by this point and most of the troops had been captured or died.
I don't see how this situation could lead to thinking it was cowardice. And I feel like the stereotype is far too strong to come from a situation that isn't so clearly cowardly. I begin to doubt the stereotype even comes from WW2 but was instead used as a historical proof for a cowardice people would attribute later to the French for some other reason. I wonder if it doesn't come from the Americans in 2003 but I've heard from a Brit that Brits already called us cowards in the 50s (thought idk if it's true) so I'm not quite sure.

i've never once seen a piece of british anti-french propaganda that had anything like that, definitely not during the second world war when it would've been very hypocritical and we wanted to legitimise the exile government

britain is a francophilic place, i don't think we have any negative stereotypes about france, perhaps snooty/pretentious/eccentric but even then it's not really negative

today there are no doubt a lot of mongs who parrot this shite, especially the red tops and british tabloids, but they've been completely americanised.

>>223372379
Again, isn't it such a weird way of seeing it?
"You surrendered after only 6 weeks", but we lost after only 6 weeks. We didn't surrender impromptu, we surrendered because we lost. You place the surrender in a void, I don't understand why you do that.
This is why this stereotype feels circular, you justify the stereotype by using it itself. It makes no sense to look at the defeat and think there's cowardice in losing. Do you get my point?
>>
>>223372511
It's hard to imagine a modern great power first world country completely losing in such a short timeframe, it implies the soldiers themselves were cowardly too and didn't fight hard, especially in the contrast against ww1 that lasted 4 years.

Yet it doesn't fit at all the reality on the field, where morale was high even in the end. The longest period of the battle of France was after the German sickle cut when the French had no armored divisions and no supply lines. Fighting hard doesn't mean you will win, the German had superior tactics, intel and communications.

Who cares, french retards who get offended by this are mostly boomers, you have to be coping if you think France fought well in WW2, the resistance was a complete meme as well unlike in Poland.

Now claiming that France has ALWAYS sucked at war is ridiculous, but it's true that since WW1 we have sucked. Even in the Algerian war, people cope by saying that we won militarily and only had to withdraw because leftist traitors were causing too much trouble, but that's weakness too, the army could have simply killed the leftists.

No, we liberated Italy and France and forced the Germans to reorganize their forces away from the Eastern Front while we gave the Soviet Union vital resources giving so that their counteroffensive wouldn't stall not to mention what we did in Northern Africa which yes had implications in Europe.

They literally always fled. Arabs have sucked at war since the end of the middle ages, it's not exactly an achievement to defeat Iras lmfao.

As for the WW, you are coping hard if you think WW1 would have gone any different without you, and as for Lend-lease it was largely irrelevant, Soviet troops thought American tanks and planes sucked ass, only the raw steel and the trucks were useful.

Nah, 98% of what our current military does is fuck all and in 2016 when I was 18 all we were doing was dicking around in Afghanistan and the only parts of the military that did anything were spec ops so I became a firefighter instead. If we ever had a more major war where i wouldn't just be sitting on base doing fuck all then yeah id probably join.

Also we've been an imperialist nation since Thomas Jefferson went to war against the Barbary Pirates and won (also got Morocco as our oldest ally, the western sahara is clearly their clay) and im proud of our military, yes. The Europeans might've given up but we havent

>or do you shill for the epsteinites who killed and mutilated your people for free?
Not really a fan of either the mossad and zionist jews or you islamists whatsoever , that said you've been a threat to our oil ventures and sphere of influence in the Middle East allying with thr Russians and funding proxies against our allies in the GCC so nah go fuck yourself. Does it suck we need to deal with jewish infiltration and shenanigans? Yes. Does this mean that because Islam is the enemy of jews that its my friend? Fuck no.

Defeating the 8th largest military in the world over a course of.a few months was a big deal lol. The Arabs did suck but to downplay their threat is ridiculous. They didnt even last 2 months

>you are coping hard if you think WW1 would have gone any different without you
The Germans successfully took out the Russians after fomenting the the Russian Revolution in 1917 and yes had we not been present for the German Spring Offensive the war wouldve been far from over.
>Lend-lease it was largely irrelevant,
Khruschev in his own personal memoirs admitted that without it the Soviet counter offensive wouldve heavily stalled especially after the Battle of Moscow. We also diverted forces away from the Eastern Front ao instead of it being 80% of german forces in the East it became about 50%. Yes we mattered in WW2 lmao.
>Soviet troops thought American tanks and planes sucked ass
Because Sherman's were made for mass replacement and the aircraft we gave them were our secondaries , we reserved the B17's and Mustangs for ourselves and most of our relevant supplies we gave to the Russians were more around logistics and infrastructure

We're a multicultural empire my guy and I never denied it. Unfortunately we have a lot of shitlibs and communists who thinks that means we are compatible with all other cultures but whatever. Let them import their slave classes while jerking off about how progressive they are I guess.

>Your people are aware of that to the extent that your leaders currently lack the political power to invade even a tiny Iranian Island
We've been taking the Iranian containment strat very slowly over the last few decades while building our own sphere of influence in the region. Were it not for the Israelis being retarded there would be a lot more public support for it , most of the liberals didnt give a shit when Obama did the stuxnet campaign against Iran even when they found out Israel was involved but since they decided to go scorched Earth in Gaza they've kind of fucked us.
