    To be fair, French Canadians were overrepresented and didn’t want to be there so they figured if they were super good at it they could go back home ASAP.

      so the French are cowards, Canadians are teddy bears, but somehow when you combine the two they not only cancel our but hyperamplify the opposite?

        The French will riot for weeks if you raise their retirement age. Americans will just complain online if you take away their human rights.

        The French are not the cowards.

          The French shut the entire country down when the government tried to raise the diesel tax by 10 cents, don’t fuck with French labor

            If I remember my chemistry right, chlorine trifluoride would like to have a chat with you. It’s such a powerful oxidizer that when burned with oxygen, the oxygen is actually the fuel rather than the oxidizer.

            But then this is the stuff that the Nazis decided was too dangerous to use as rocket propellant, then decided it was too dangerous to use as a chemical weapon.

        Fun fact, numbers to numbers for personnel, vehicles, equipment, air force and navy, France has more stuff than Britain in every category.

        I don’t know too much of how good their stuff is other than the Rafale being a fine piece of tech.

        Two incredibly dumb generalizations proven wrong in this very thread, but people like you are still perpetuating them.
