"ChuckSlusarczyk" wrote in message ... In article , Rich says... ChuckSlusarczyk wrote in message ... Thank you very much,we'll remember that when you come begging to us to save your worthless asses one more time. I believe the French came to our aid first during the American Revolution. Rich Yes they did and I'm greatful for that .But sadly since then their attitude has changed. See ya Chuck s Since then, the French (founder member of NATO) have fought in WW I France - 1.3 million troops dead (16% of all it's troops) + 40 thousand civilians (also see http://www.war1418.com/battleverdun/index.htm) US 126 thousand troops dead (3% of all it's troops) Russia 1.7 million troops dead (14% of all it's troops) + 3 million civilians dead. WW II (Including fighting the Japanese in Indochina) France 210 thousand troops dead & 350 thousand civilians dead. US 292 thousand troops dead & 6 thousand civilians dead USSR 8.7 million troops dead & 17 million civilians dead. France has also fought in, kept the peace in, or evacuated civilians from - Gulf War I Afghanistan Bosnia Kosovo Chad Haiti Sudan Ivory Coast Liberia Rwanda East Timor (DR) Congo Zaire Franco-Austrian war Franco-Prussian war 25 years of various battles in Syria. Numerous battles in Indochina/SE Asia Off the top of my head, the only war that I can think of, that France hasn't been involved in, is the current cluster-fk in Iraq. The USA has lost about 800,000-900,000 troops (combat & non-combat) in it's entire history. France los about that many in just 5 months of 1916. France has paid it's price, fighting for freedom. P.S. I'm not French. |
