Partly, yes. Especially the younger generations who take living in a free democracy for granted.

this is unhappy that there's a lot lack of understanding the following. Treating the French of resign monkeys is offensive, unfair, traditionally faulty and stupid................ The French lost one hundred and fifty 000 squaddies contained in the conflict of France (so a twin of the French squaddies dropping their rifles on the floor and surrendering is pretend !) and later 350 000 civilians in the course of the Nazi occupation and the bombardments of the Allies.... understand that France had lost a million 500 000 squaddies in WW1, combating till the top (Britain did not keep France in WW1, Britain helped France, yet did not keep France...) remember also that the French, even being, in accordance to you, "surrendering monkeys", nonetheless managed to lose extra human beings in WW2 than the u . s ..... so that you need to perhaps tell your self a touch before insulting the French... Oh, and in case you probably did not word, the leaders latest on the D-Day ceremony were: -Barack Obama, President of the u . s . -Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France -Gordon Brown, best Minister of significant Britain and northern eire -Prince Charles, member of the Royal relations of significant Britain -Stephen Harper, best Minister of Canada There are 2 human beings representing the united kingdom, isn't it adequate ? Canada has been snubbed ? fairly ? you need to also have a glance on the speech made by employing Nicolas Sarkozy, the position he defined that France might want to under no circumstances overlook that without the U. S., the united kingdom and Canada, France would not be loose. He made in basic terms one little element out of the French Resistance and praised the braveness of the more youthful adult men from Britain, Canada and the u . s . who sacrificed their lives to defeat Germany, freeing France on their way... Gordon Brown, Stephen Harper and Barack Obama extra praised the braveness and the usefulness of the French Resistance than Sarkozy....... Sarkozy also gave the Légion d'Honneur (France's optimal defense force distinction, created by employing Napoléon Bonaparte) to at least one American soldier, one British soldier (very thrilled and touched by employing the way), one Canadian soldier and one French soldier.... entire Normandy develop into finished of flags of england, Canada, US and France, regardless of if Normandy has been heavily bombarded by employing the Allies in 1944, killing 1000's of French civilians... So please do not communicate of ungrateful French human beings....

No I believe the French people that were alive during WWII and the next generation that was told about the war and the Nazi's occupation was extremely grateful. The problem is the younger generations that have never felt threatened do not understand and do not realize how fast it can happen. They see no possible threat to them.

Your generation, in France have no memory of WW II liberation.
Few are living that do.
Do not forget the French underground that saved many American Military.
They are not going to bow to Americans.
It's over.
I have found the French people to be cordial and as friendly as we are to them.

Gratitude is the fond expectation of more favors to come.
Today, France looks to Europe, not so much to America. Or even Québec

Why - what were you expecting from them? Are you suggesting that because they dare to disagree with American policies, they are not grateful? Were they supposed to spend eternity in your debt?
Times change. Do you think the Japanese are still upset about Hiroshima?
