I guess they wanted to put the medals to use since they don't have anyone there to give them to. No point in them sitting around collecting dust!
I'm really sick of the whole France = Pussies thing, especially in America.

The French and Polish provided major resistance in the second World War. In fact, without their resistance a lot of major operations would've never ran nearly as smooth after and with D-Day. We were counting on them to take out various units, including units upon trains which, if they would've made it, would've been a major blow to the allies.

The French are a lot of things, including assholes, but their not pussies.
