Dropped once, never fired.

Literally not worth a shit

Decently trained shitty higher commander s

The best think about French mil surp rifles. It they have never been fired and only dropped once.

oh my bad. i read the thread wrong i was thinking about WW1, and didn't see the second numerical.

If France had a civil war, what will happen when both sides surrender?

They entered into a war that they were unprepared to wage on the societal level and suffer dearly for it.

The lesson you should be learning from Great Britain in 1775, France in 1940, America in 1964 and 2003 is: Never take a divided nation to war.

Over the decades of the Vietnam War, the Americans lost 58,318 KIA.

In WWI, we lost 116,516 dead

In WWII we lost 407,300 dead.


In WWI, France lost, conservatively, 1,357,000 KIA.

In WWII, France suffered 210,000 KIA.

In Vietnam, France bled 75,581 lives away.
They certainly know how to die, I'll give them that.

Their WWI uniforms were better.

The French fought very bravely and valiantly in WWII. The last SS division hold outs to defend Berlin was a French Division.

They had one bad month and have been taking shit for it for 80 years.

They were going to get shot no matter what happened. The only question was before the war ends, or after.

horizon blue best blue

Unironically this.

This is true, but holy shit that was THE fucking month not to fuck up.

Hmm then it that case i wish Germany somehow lost so quickly so i could get a nice k98k

I find their uniforms really aesthetic.

I blame their civilian leadership for
>Not mobilizing the second Germany started rearming
>Believing Hitler ever
>Buying into their own bullshit
Granted all of that is hindsight, but still.

Forty Belgians held the krauts up for about two weeks, Paris was taken in one. Just goes to show how effective you can be if your military actually prepare for a fight.

Resiste et Mords.

De Gaulle was a prideful cunt.
