They're one of our biggest allies and without them we'd all be British, yet whenever France is brought up we have to be so condescending about the WWs.

I was studying abroad in England the past six months, and just so you know the British hate the French even more than us Americans do, so don't just blame Americans for stating that the French are weak and pansies. Pretty much every country hates France except the French.

That's like saying that because MSU and OSU hate Michigan, everyone must hate Michigan. England and France are historic rivals, and the U.S., being a former English colony, has inherited some of their ancient prejudice. The rest of the British Isles - especially Scotland - are more favorable toward France and will root for them over England.
