    That one “recent” blip aside.

    Even then, France held out for more days than many other WW2 countries who don’t get accused of cowardice for it.

      Yeah in the face of it they were pragmatic. Given the circumstances, after the initial outmanoeuvre I’ve never seen anyone criticise what they did with a meaningful alternative and they ate shit to get the Brits back across the channel so they could fight another day.

      Vive la France! 🇫🇷
