3. The French served their purpose at Yorktown.

Since then, America has largely thumbed their noses at the French, Statue of Liberty or not.

Hey, freeps. Without the French Navy, you would be eating tea and crumpets instead of Budweiser and pork rinds.

4. But they make pretty good war planes
and this is their chance to prove it.


They also have quite a few nukes. I wouldn't want to piss them off.

7. Their ground troops are very good as well...I don't know where the RWers
get the idea they are not effective...Although in WWII they had terrible generals and strategists.

6. Wait so taking on the Libyan air-force
in the midst of a civil war proves their toughness?

I'm not some francophobe, but this is childs play.
