myhatinthering 462 Posted December 14, 2018 it will only get worse as America pulls more support and financial assistance (euro countries get plenty that is both on the table and under it) Not to mention, the French are sick of foreigners Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

French Pension Protesters Storm LVMH Building In Downtown Paris | ZeroHedge French protests, strikes, walkouts are so weird...and so common. A bunch of years ago I got stranded trying to get to Charles deGaulle airport by train, for a flight out of Paris. I was not stranded because of a general transit strike. I was not stranded because of a railroad strike. No, I was stranded because the workers on JUST THAT ONE TRAIN, that I happened to be on, decided to strike. They pulled it into Gare de Nord station and simply walked away, leaving the train there blocking the platform and tracks. Everything else in and out of the station was still running, but the workers didn't want to move the train I'd been on out of some weird solidarity thing even though they probably had no idea what the workers on the one train had gotten bent out of shape about.. So I missed my flight back home. And Air France was not particularly helpful in getting me on another flight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

French 1st Army retreated fewer mile against more Germans than the Brit expeditionary forces who also had more men on the northern theater. Dunkirk was only doable as a result of the 1st army literally, LITERALLY shooting to last round. The german command diaries (forget the name) of the time have nothing but contempt and loathing at the brits but accolades for the tenacious defense by the French in early part of war. In fact, after the war it was said of the Western theater by those that fought there from start to finish the French were hardest fighters but had shit leadership. Of course I call bs as no one is better than us:) seriously however, lots of stuff on this out there. Don't forget, no one, not the French, Brits, Canadians, etc expected Germany to go around like they did. The bulk of French forces were much further south and part of the reason why Vichy existed (Germany wasn't going South with all it's armies after Dunkirk vs setting up friendly gov't.
