The New American Hero

Well, the French liked the Germans too and even planted trees so they
could march in the shade.

But Tiger, you're an oldie but goodie in the headline department. Been

Floyd, this day is yours.

Landis appears to be everything an American star on the global stage should
be. He's hard-working, respectful and humble, but also kind of fun. Even the
French like this guy. .................

That's nice article.

Last year it was said that cycling in the US would diminish with
Armstrong's retirement. I think Floyd may have just prevented that from
happening.

Armstrong may have been an inspirational story, but at least people can
relate to Floyd. He's an 'aw, shucks', kind of guy, who eats
hamburgers and drinks beer. Sounds like the kind of guy you'd like to
hang out with.

In 1914 ? I don't remember any GI's also.

Time for you to open the eyes.

The anti-racism/nationalism/whateverexemplar is now bragging about how
many Germans his country killed. Gee, I'm just getting pumped for the
part when I can brag about the firebombing of Tokyo.

In any case, everyone knows the French can't fight. After all, they lost
the Vietnam War.

Verdun was most famous as a WWI battlefield. As for 1940, you lot had already
surrendered with hardly a shot fired. All along, you could have disgraced [censored]
and had him thrown from office if you had enforced the terms of Versailles,
particularly the disarmament of the the Rhineland. At the time that [censored] moved
three divisions into the Rhineland France had 90 available. The German army
would've left, [censored] would've been shamed, but you guys backed down from a
small fight and bought yourselves a large one.

Whatever is an "Americans Cies?"

An extraordinary selective memory. A brief visit to a field of crosses in
Normandy might give some perspective. And while you remember some American
business men you seem to have forgotten an entire French government of Quislings
and accomodationists.

In 1914, hell no, it was your stupid European war continuing the millenias long
tradition of Europeans killing one another in vast numbers. We attempted to stay
out of it until it spilled over and started affecting us. But right from the
start there were American volunteers fighting for France. Go ahead and pretend
it didn't happen.

And whether your non-german-speaking ass appreciates it or not, we came in on
your side in both those wars. Sure we were there for our own reasons as well but
we did warmly remember your assistance in our revolution which was supported by
your side entirely in your own anti-British interests.

And people wonder why Americans suspect the French are haughty and dislike us.

I guess it shouldn't take people to read this article to have heard of
Napoleon and his military successes.
When I'm meeting people from different countries in Europe, there's
often the theme of teasing your peer with some mild humor, often with
these silly jokes - that's some kind of nice way to assure ourselves
that the chauvinism of our ancients is not present anymore between us.

And there's something for the english too:

The US had a bye in the first round.

If there had been a popular vote in 1917 the US would have come in on
the side of the Germans, but the WASPs in power had to support their
British kinsmen.

Looking back on it now, WW2 might never have happened if the Germans
won WW1 with US help.
