Interesting French trivia
Do you know what was the largest single French naval action of World War II?
It was November 27, 1942: they sank fifty-six ships of their own fleet in their own harbor at Toulon. hahahahahahahaaha

Boring and ignorant triviality
The fact that the French Navy, during World War II, chose to destroy its fleet in the Toulon harbor, rather than let it fall in the hands of the Third Reich, to which the country had just succumbed, an episode which even caused casualties between pro-empire, keep-the-fleet French forces and no-holds-barred-anti-German French forces, is an indication of French cowardice to you, instead of being an example of tragic heroism? Then, you have no idea what you are talking about.
You started off in this forum with reasonably nonsensical neo-conservative arguments, but lately you seem to be going downhill. My solemn advice to ya: Read up on your History. You clearly need it.

You dont have to state the obvious. But perhaps you were just reminding yourself.

I actually think it was a pretty honorable thing for them to do. That being said, it still amuses me.

That being said, maybe you should go back and read your history and realize that the French, while have been on our side in events in the past, werent the staunch and steadfast allies that you would like everyone to believe that they were. Why dont you start with the Operation Torch and how much the French helped us out when we tried to seize Oran Harbor.
