As far as surrender monkees statement they like to drag out.
They never heard of the French Resistance fighters? NO because like ALL freepers, they tend to listen out of one side of their mind

"The [colonists'] victory at Yorktown would not have been possible without the French. French money and credit paid for the campaign. French troops made up half the army there. French military engineers largely directed the siege. And most importantly the French navy repelled the British navys attempt to rescue the besieged British army."

(46,327 posts)Was back in the early 2000's, France said no way were they going to get involved in the debacle of the Iraq invasion.
And we saw how "Mission Accomplished" that turned out to be, right?
No even the right-wingers going all the way to trump himself are calling it a mistake.
But the nadir of the anti-France hysteria was when that idiot congressman re-named "French fries" in the capitol cafeteria, to "Freedom Fries."
