typical lame french actions during ww2. biggest blunder of the allies was trying to let them build back their empire which help cause vietnam war as well =\

So much ignorance concerning the Free French and their part in WWII. Clue: the Free French never surrendered to the Germans, and never disbanded their military; you're thinking of the Vichy Government. And blaming the French for our involvement in VietNam? Give me a break!
