How quickly they see to have forgotten. To be fair, it is probably a member of a small group in a position which enables them to show their insensitivity toward the vets. Probably a faction like the 50 students at Rutgers out of an enrollment of 65,000 which prevented Condoleeza Rice from speaking at their graduation.

After reading “The Resistance in WWII” by Miller one will develop a new-found respect for the French. The last page shows a large photo of a Nazi collaborator at the moment the firing squad gave him his due. The clothes and restraints being shredded at the critical moment is impressive.

Da Frawgs have never forgiven us not only for liberating their country, but their beloved Paris especially.

Chicken Chuck DeGaulle always thought the US Army should have waited for the French to come up from Provence.

They should ask the people of Les Ventes, France what they think of the French Embassy’s reply.

Great story if you haven’t seen it…

Well, look at this from the French point of view: Are any of these vets French? Then why bother ’cause they’re nothing but mud-sucking bottom feeders compared to real Frenchmen anyway.

Sefton – I’m sure pretty much the rest of Normandy agrees with the people of Les Ventes.

France has been bitter since the end of World War II. Remember that they basically didn’t want anything non-French to participate in the victory parade in Paris. Then there were a few incidents where they nearly came to blows with their Western Allies.

They surrendered to the Germans in a matter of weeks, yet in the end wished to be viewed in the same light as the United States and Great Britain — that wasn’t happening.

And then of course came DeGaulle’s kicking NATO out of France, wanting to be independent militarily and so forth..

Lots of jealousy over the years..
