Re: "The British Are Coming"
Sad that so many put the French down. But without the French there would be no USA
Based solely on what the government did during WWII people incorrectly assume the French are weak. Remember the government surrendered, not the military. The military fought on until the end of the war.
The government surrendered, not the people. The people formed the resistance without whom the allies could never have landed in Normandy.
Some point to their loss in Vietnam. But just like the US the military didn’t surrender. The cowards running the government did.
And remember the French once ruled all of Europe. They had an empire almost as large as Britain.

Re: "The British Are Coming"
You can't blame the British for trying to keep the Colonies, they knew a good thing when they saw it.....
The late Terry Murbach was an admirer of the French military especially the Foreign Legion. Like a lot of the military " Lions led by Donkeys " the so-called Commander in Chief is a prime example.

If more men loved and cherished their wives as much as I love bacon the world would be a much better place.

Read the trilogy by Gingrich and Forstchen - "To Try Men's Souls" "Valley Forge" and "Victory at Yorktown" and yes, you will see that without the French, there really would be no USA...
(...they're still fun to poke fun at, though... )

Re: "The British Are Coming"
My way back great grand pa came to explore Quebeck & to make a home in Quebeck city in 1620
there is still a place named after him in Q.C. if he could see it today??
my 4 th. great g.pa came over from france to help in the war, George was for sure in trouble with
his effort to win the war & the French helped get it done, my 4 th. grand pa got wounded at brandy wine
he recovered but stayed in Quebec & up state N.Y. for the rest of his life
if he could see it today what to heck would he think??

Re: "The British Are Coming"
Although considering the size and cost of the government at this point in our history, it might be cheaper to pay just one king!

It is not widely known that Spain helped the Colonies as well, not only with cash, arms and ammunition, but by directly confronting and defeating the British along the lower Mississippi and in Florida.
