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.
