If we had the liberal media in 1944 like we do now. From the web. This is great!

Dateline June 6, 1944

NORMANDY - Three hundred French civilians were killed and thousands more wounded today in the first hours of America’s invasion of continental Europe. Casualties were heaviest among women and children. Most of the French casualties were the result of artillery fire from American ships. Reports from a makeshift hospital in the French town of St. Mere Eglise said the carnage was far worse than the French had anticipated and reaction against the American invasion was running high. “We are dying for no reason,” said a Frenchman speaking on condition of anonymity. “Americans can’t even shoot straight. I never thought I’d say this, but life was better under Adolf Hitler.”


The invasion also caused severe environmental damage. American troops, tanks, trucks and machinery destroyed miles of pristine shoreline and thousands of acres of ecologically sensitive wetlands. It was believed that the habitat of the spineless French crab was completely wiped out, threatening the species with extinction. A representative of Greenpeace said his organization, which had tried to stall the invasion for over a year, was appalled at the destruction, but not surprised. “This is just another example of how the military destroys the environment without a second thought, ” said Christine Moanmore. “And it’s all about corporate greed.” Contacted at his Manhattan condo, a member of the French government-in-exile who abandoned Paris when Hitler invaded said the invasion was based solely on American financial interests. “Everyone knows the President Roosevelt has ties to big beer,” said Pierre LeWimp. “Once the German beer industry is conquered, Roosevelt’s beer cronies will control the world market and make a fortune.” Administration supporters said America’s aggressive actions were based in part on the assertions of controversial scientist Albert Einstein, who sent a letter to Roosevelt speculating that the Germans were developing a secret weapon, a so-called “atomic bomb.” Such a weapon could produce casualties on a scale never seen before and cause environmental damage that could last for thousands of years. Hitler has denied having such a weapon and international inspectors were unable to locate such weapons even after spending two long weekends in Germany.

That is so great! How true it is, and I could just imagine the coverage on CNN and major networks as we "killed and plundered" innocent civilians!

"the spineless French Crab". Hmmm... there still seems to be a plenitful supply. At least Paris has a good population of them.

LMAO...

PS oneof the shortest books known to mankind..."French Military Victories"

Even shorter:

French Military Strategies

what happened to the beer strategy ?.....

Sacré Bleau! Has no one ever heard of Napoleon?

Napoleon never really defended France. He was an conqueror for the empire. Most of his battles were fought off french soil.
But if Bonaparte is the only thing France has to hang it's hat on...then ... so sad.

Napolean and Joan of Arc are the only two military leaders in French History who have won anything! And they burned her at the stake and sent him packing to some remote island, maybe this is all apart of the don't win theory!

Charlie

The Normans conquered England but then became English so they had to fight France a bunch more times.lol Then there was Joan of Arc and Napoleon. I guess it would be appropriate to say,"Yeah, but what have you done lately?"
And oh yeah, they sunk the Greenpeace Warrior.

Your testosterone is showing! You guys get way too serious about this sh*t! I guess from now on I will have to make sure I fill my posts with lots of LOLs and HA HAs.

Sheesh...

Viva La France

thurson... no sweat.

Bonaparte wasn't even born in France. 🙂 ... and wasn't Joan of Arc the **** child of an English soldier?? Just asking??

Cheers,
