why i hate the french?

Question

im sorry if i offended some people..... but i carnt forgive the french, they ran in the last war, and left it to us to get there land back.... my grand father died because of them.... i carnt forgive cowards

Answer 1

Then your hatred shouldn't stop there. You should also hate the Japanese because they attacked your cowardly asses and dragged you into the war. So maybe your hatred should also extend to your own US because it took you two years to enter the war since you hate cowards.

My grandfather died in the Battle of Britain, because you cowards wanted to remain neutral and only England with the British Commonwealth stood between the free world and the axis of evil.

Answer 2

Hi! I can understand why you feel like you do about the french, however i don't think you can really blame the french themselves for the death of your grandfather! The reason the french lost against the germans was bad leadership! so, if you have to blame any of the french, it is the politicians and generals who you should blame! However, most of, if not all, these people are now dead! So, i would try not to look for anyone to blame! Just the Nazis! So, my advice is don't vote for the nationalists, and this should never happen again!
You say that we were left to fight to get back their land, well this is true to a certain extent, however we cannot forget the brave work of the french resistance! Not to mention the fact that france was no longer in a position to fight!
Finally, i have to set the record straight! the french army were certainly not cowards, they were simply badly led, so eventually they were forced to surrender because there was nothing more they could do!

Answer 3

not really a question looking for an answer is it ? mind you that's not surprising given your clear lack of intellectual capacity. The French went to war against the Nazis in defence of another country (Poland) and as a result suffered terribly. When their army was defeated many french people continued the fight at terrible cost until the Axis was finally defeated. In comparison the USA came late to the war and only then when it was directly attacked by the Axis, American casualties were light compared to most other participants in the war. This is not to belittle those Americans who gave their lives in the war or indeed those who fought bravely and survived. I'm sure you'd find that amongst those who actually fought in the war there was a much greater sense of camaraderie and mutual understanding (even amongst those on opposing sides) than amongst their ignorant descendants.who couldn't be bothered to read and understand history.

Firstly, let us get one thing straight. The French did not run in World War 2. The greatest contribution to the defeat of the French and British in 1940 came from a Nation that is composed of Flemish and Walloons. Their rapid surrender exposed the flank of the Allied forces (to which, Britain could only contribute a paltry 4 Divisions), This was predicted both by Liddell-Hart, a British strategist of the highest order, and also by Guderian, (German general), who is possibly the best strategist known in the last century. These predictions were made well before hostilities in WW2 opened.

If any nations are to be castigated about WW2, why not knock the Swedes or the Swiss. They did not fight at all. The USA, whilst it did supply arms to Britain, and bled us dry in the process, did not enter the war until they were attacked. They did lose a couple of destroyers escorting convoys in their own waters and those close to them, prior to their declaration of war, this was a token loss, when seen in comparison to the superb efforts of the Free French in WW2. I suggest that you look up the actions of General Koenig and his troops at Bir Hachiem before you say that the French 'ran'

Frenchmen flew with the RAF during the Battle of Britain. Frenchmen fought themselves to a standstill, and to inevitable captivity, defending the perimeter of Dunkirk whilst the BEF was being evacuated. Frenchmen and women risked all in their Resiastance movement - one of their best Agents was called 'sang-froid', which epitomises the dourness and tenacity of the French Resistance.

Moving towards more modern times, the French provided vital flank security in the first Gulf War. The Light Division that was contributed by France, under the command of Lt General Roquejoffre, was an asset to the combined forces and has been saluted as such by General Norman Swartskopf (spelling may not be correct) - and he is one of the best combat Generals, along with Powell and de la Billiere, that we have seen in recent combat.

The French are not 'Cheese eating surrender monkeys'. Their cheese is rather good, they like to eat (good on them, I'm a Chef). They did not surrender at Dien ben Phu in Vietnam until there was no alternative. Monkeys, of course, are extremely intelligent creatures.

Answer 5

Not sure that you have made the right point about "running" in the last war. After all the Germans had invaded, and they did not have a sea to separate them from the enemy.

The UK government had plans to run away to Canada if the Germans crossed the channel and invaded England.

But it was the French who stood together with Britain when Nasser nationalised the Suez canal, and the two stayed together until the USA opposed them at the UN and they had to pull out.

Answer 6

Dear Harry D,

Good on you! But please have the courage of your convictions and go all the way, otherwise it's just talk. I suggest you lobby your Congressman to take the following actions:

1. Get the US government to revoke its declaration of independence. Without the French the British flag would still be flying over your country. The French forgot to be "cowards" in 1776.

2. Get the US government to revise the constitution so that the United States becomes a theocratic monarchy, just like Saudi Arabia. The American Revolution was strongly influenced by French political philosophers, who advocated a secular government with equal rights for all.

3. Get the Department of Education to institute drastic reforms in the main language spoken in the US - close to half of the vocabulary in the English language comes directly from French. Replace all these subversive French words with good old Saxon words from before the year 1066.

4. Give up the middle third of US territory, and return it to French sovereignty - after all, this was ceded to you by France during the Louisiana Purchase. The piece of land sold by France to the US (for a mere pittance) in 1803 makes up around 40% of current US territory.

5. Give up all economic relations with France - you might have to get the Fed to revise the US's growth rates downwards, though. France is the US's 8th largest trading partner, with a trade volume of over US$40 billion for this year alone. This is without mentioning the billions of US dollars French corporations have invested in the US, providing thousands of jobs and boosting the US economy.

6. Give up all diplomatic relations too. That also means cutting all contact with French Intelligence, who has cooperated very closely with the US on issues of terrorism and in August 2001 notified the FBI of Zacarias Moussaoui's connection with Al-Qaida and Osama Bin Laden, information which the US government did nothing about.

Oh, by the way: my grandfather was French and he fought with American and British troops in North Africa, Italy and southern France during World War II. Are you suggesting that he's a coward?

You are an ill-informed hate-monger and you give the citizens of your country a bad name. I am thankful that most Americans are so much more intelligent and good-hearted than yourself.

Answer 7

The French had no more to do with your grandfather's death than the Americans did Christina's. You both should blame the responsible people--the Germans of that time. Comprendo?--True, I don't like the French either, because they are snooty and have an arrogant aloof bearing.

Answer 8

well alot of people died in the war sorry about your grandad but the Germans were shooting at him I'm sure and are you sure that he didn't die from friendly fire. well that's you but if you lived through the war you might have different opinion. I've seen British and German soldiers that fought in the 2nd world become best friends some of the people that went to war didn't want they had to.

Answer 9

I won't go as far as to say i hate the French, but i can never forgive them for the Euro 2000 finals. I cried like a baby for hours after that...! :o(

Answer 10

So, your grandfather died because of the French? Nothing to do with those Germans shooting at him, then? And was it the French people who are alive today who let him down?

I can't stand the Danes. Bloody Vikings came over and burned our villages down! No more ridiculous than you!
