"G.R. Patterson III" wrote in message ... Sounds a lot like the French argument during WWI to the effect that allowing pilots to wear parachutes would cause them to be more cowardly. That's silly! The French couldn't be more cowardly.

That's silly! The French couldn't be more cowardly. Oh, give it up already. You're talking of the nation of, just in our own endeavor, Bleriot and St Expury and his colleagues. The nation that lost more men fighting the German machine to a standstill in WWI, than the US has lost in all wars combined. The nation of the Resistance (whose bravery easily exceeded that of the rebels in 1776). The home nation of Medecins sans frontieres. And that's just free-associating, no googling, and only 20th century. What is it with this France-bashing? Do you need someone to feel superior to, because you can't feel superior on your own? -- David Brooks
