Default Way off topic, but it has do to with the French

Of course it never dawned upon you that the government was not "the
French"? Ever heard of something like the Résistence?


Sure.

So?


Good grief, are you really so dim? It takes an awful lot of courage to do
what they did. I suspect the vast majority of those who enjoy dumb jokes
about "the French" wouldn't have that courage.


Yes, we all know that some French resisted collaborating with the Nazis.
They were brave men and women who often died for their cause. All of which
has little to do with the topic, which was the Vichy government and the vast
majority of French who were content to wait it out.

If you're trying to say the Resistance acted as a moral counter-balance to
the vast majority of French who sat on their hands whilst under the yoke of
the most immoral regime in modern history, you'd be wrong.

But what else is new?
