James, I second your THANK YOU!  |
Well, as a french, I'm admiring your great spirit, in the USA.
In France, we had our Viet-Nam war too, you know, which ended with a defeat for us in 1954, May 7th, at Dien Bien Phu, which was the final phase of the Indochina war, the longest, most furious battle of the French Expeditionary Corps : 170 days of confrontation, 57 days of hell and despite the defeat, I admire our military past and the courage of our army, especially our commando parachutists and great Men like General Bigeard, a real hero in Dien-Bien-Phu.
Unfortunately, a large majority of french people (infected by our numerous mass media of the far left wing) are ashamed of this past and of what we did in Viet-Nam, in Algeria and elsewhere.
Don't change your spirit, you'll remain a great nation.
