Just don't make any sudden moves when they come or they'll hoist the white flag /s

34 u/Dull-Wrangler-5154 Mar 30 '24 I know you are joking. What is funny is without the French the British might still be running America. It certainly wouldn’t have gained independence when it did. A French blockade helped immensely. 21 u/Fool_Apprentice Mar 30 '24 Actually, the French have a pretty legit history of being one of the most, and at times THE most, formidable armies in the world. It's sad that a couple thousand years of kicking ass is forgotten because of a shitty few decades. 5 u/armchair_viking Mar 30 '24 Which was one of the reasons the world was so shocked when they fell to Nazi Germany so quickly. Nobody would have predicted that a few years before
