True, the Italians were pathetically clumsy in WWII. It's interesting to
note that despite this performance there are few in America who make
"Italian jokes" the way we poke fun at the French.


Perhaps because the Italians don't have the arrogance of the French.

Or they don't compete with Americans in arrogance, to put it another way...
