Isn't "French Resistance" a contradiction of terms?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Not at all:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_resistance

When Germany invaded France, many people took up arms to resist the invaders. The French Resistance was very real and played an active part in stopping the advance of Hitler's armies.

I guess you are refering to the desire by France to look for peaceful solutions instead of having military action all the time, for example the case of Iraq.

While it is convenient to tar people who do not agree with someone's aggression as a coward, it just smacks of kindergarten playground tactics.

The scary but however is, despite the internet, many people are taken in by these kindergarten playground tactics, and join in the teasing.

Actually the most funny thing is that without the French, chances are the Americans would not have been able to fight the British Empire and obtain independence.

No it is not,not all the French people surrendered when their cowardly government did. Thousands of the Resistance made life hell for the occupying Nazi regime; they were very brave men and women and are still held in high esteem by the French people.As a reward the post war French government gave them various "for the rest of their lives" easements, none of them would ever have to buy a T.V. licence or car tax/registration or pay certain local taxes.Also, the majority of the resistance members were communists, that is why they so hated the fascists and fought with such tenacity.
