Why do we hate the french again?

I don't care if your father was chairman of the joint chiefs, you don't know what your talking about, if you did it wouldn't take you so long to look everything up before posting.

Right, wouldn't want to dilute a debate with any nasty old facts. Name-calling is so much more fun without them.

For someone who professes to be well educated you sure don't comprehend what you read very well. I didn't say facts, I said bullshit details. You can argue details about any thing in history but it doesn't change the result. That's what's important.
Left to their own, the french would have dragged on like the Iran-Iraq war.

Oh Silent, thanks for the tip on DeGaulle in Morocco. Should have know he wasn't actually involved in the fighting.

With all due respect, I'm educated enough to reject stone-walling without data to back it up as an acceptable method of debate. You can throw hissy fits all you like, but your statements mostly have not been backed up by any data. Its a lazy way out to call facts that don't support your pet peeves "bullshit details." I might call the chart you cut and pasted above, "bullshit detail", if I were to go by your usage of the phrase.

Hissy fits are a chick thing, that's your department. I don't hissy fit.
You said I was over simplifying, I said you were over complicating because you can argue the value of 4 foot vs 6 foot trenches or the merits of one caliber bullet over another, ad nauseum. It doesn't change the facts;
1~ the french fought for 4 years and got no where with a 76.3 % casualty rate.
2~ Pershing ended the war in months with an 8.2% casualty rate.
That's it....the bottom line....we won.


Oh...3~ the french suck.
