You could have heard a pin drop.

Great post, Fred!

A quick question though....

Why are the Paris street lined with trees?


































Because the German Army likes to march in the shade.

nice post, but let us not forget that there would be no good ole USA to save the world if the French didn't save out ass in the 18th century. The US leaves this mostly out of the history books, but the island of Antigua was worth more to England than the colonies, so French activity there gave rise to our 'victory'.

Before we go around pretending to be superior, let's recall that we were once quite lowly. And that's about all I have to say about that.

Since this is a pride thread and being a history buff, even that fact is now debated with a lot of new light being shed on things.

Great thread for sure.

I have a soft spot in my heart for France; and not just because they are short-sighted and arrogant.

The French and Americans have a long and glorious history. While we currently are not seeing perfectly eye-to-eye, I'd hate to see people trash them without considering all that they've done for us.

As for the Italians, do you know what they do with their armies?


They put them in their sleevies.
