What a ridiculous idea it is that France does not have any military victories. Don't be so shortsighted, people, and read your history books.

@CPYV78 Avant que ton pays est un passé aussi glorieux que celui de la France Ferme ta grande gueule

Dis Merci à Rochambeau, à De Grasse, à Lafayette, car ce n'était pas avec votre armée de lopettes et de paysans que vous alliez battre les anglais. Comme d'habitude vous avez une gueule infernale, soyez Humble devant la France et son passé, a part être venus nous délivrer des allemands car ces traitres d'anglais nous ont abandonnés, depuis vous êtes nul à chier

[Ascensiam]

and now, the Libyan Civil War! add that to the humongous list.

[Polecatmtn]

Merci to France for helping us win our independence and giving us the Great Lafayette! Vive La France! An American.
