    True. In 100 years the Muslims will ask that the flag be changed.

    Nay, probably sooner than that. And they won't ask for it. They'll demand it (while accusing the opposition of racism.)

    Hilarious. They are excellent at waving white flags at the Germans. I watched the French TV news celebrating the 60th anniversary of their liberation from Germany. They made it seem that the French soldiers liberated France and completely failed to mention it was thanks to the USA and Britain.

    Pathetic.

    It might've had something to do with the staple of WWII French military, the famed Renault FT-17 tank (see pic here: http://www.wwiivehicles.com/images/france/ft_17_01.jpg). It had 1 forward gear and 4 reverse... My favorite French invention after the guillotine!

    This tank was a WWI tank and US bought it, probably the best tank at is time, during WWII it was only used as machine-gun truck following infantry, for the Panzer-bashing there was the Renault B1-bis (called the "monster" by germans) and Somua S-35 (medium and fast tank), but as you know... not enougth and too late...

    they also had a great strategic defence along the german-french border in WW2, with massive cannons, connected by underground railways...
    i had not seen such ingenious military strategy since the trogans brought the greek horse through the wall of troy... in fact im sure some french ancestors where generals in the trojan army that day, they must have been saying, "ahh this horse prooves our might in battle, bring it in and we celebrate with wine and cheese tonight boys"

    For B1-bis... maybe (slow tank, with limited range), Panzer (even the heaviest) were not able to shot B1, they just had to wait he burn all his oil...

    Lengendary say that the Frank people came from the trojan survivors, you are right.
    From Francus son of Priam, king of Troy.
