I don’t know. You tell me. I just know if it weren’t for England and the United States they would be speaking German right now.

Why have they become so prone to throwing down their weapons and surrendering? It is nature or nuture?

Its an old stigma, the story tells it that the French were cowards, the irish were drunks, the germans were racist etc.

Gordon Soley? (I know it's actually Solie)

I always enjoyed he and Dusty Rhodes commentary broadcasting live on the Mothership ( as Dusty called TBS) back in the day.

Jumping in on this one:

The whole reason Cinco De Mayo is a holiday!!!

The French not holding their own led to the whole 5hitshow in Vietnam.

There actually are websites dedicated to listing French surrenders...but these two illustrate the point.
