So why do you say the Air Force is cowardly for not letting YOU see
their site?


Because I don't see any other reason for blocking it.

Perhaps they just want to be selective as to whom they allow access.
If you came to my front door and demanded entry would you call me a
coward if I deny you entry?

What indication do you see on your monitor that says you are being
blocked? What does it say?

I guess we owe the French. They still seem ****ed about us coming over
in the 1940s to "help" them out. Now they're returning the favor...

Are Americans still upset about the French paying for their independence?

The french, when blasting the USA, conveniently leave out their actions
in the Suez Canal and some small brushfires in Africa where they were
more than unethical.

Americans leave a lot out, too. Nobody is blameless.

There's a difference in the minds of the French. On very rare
occasions there has been vandalism to U.S. cemeteries in France. The
French of all generations react with extreme negativity and the
perpetrators are in for a rough time. The French make a distinction
between those who liberated them and those in power now.

The French know far more about U.S. assistance during and after WW1
and WW2 than Americans know about how big a role the French played
during the American Revolution.

I have no great love for France of today, but they did save our butts
in the 1700s. In case you are wondering why I make such a distinction
myself I will give you one example. During WW2 the French ran a
concentration camp for the Nazis. It was called Drancy. There is no
monument to those who suffered there, just an apartment complex. France,
as a nation, chose not to face their complicity in the crimes of the Nazis.

The browser can't reach the site. I can ping some of the sites, but they
don't answer a browser.
