Maginot Line was my first hard boulder problem. It goes sideways.

I love the way these threads go OT so fast here. Nice try though, herm...
... the French Republic, which courageously fought Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Imperial Japan, the Soviet Union, and the horde of hellish American plutocrats, all at the same time.
LMAO The military casualties for the US during WWII in fighting all those countries the French Republic almost staved off before their collapse (again) was nearly twice the French military casualties for the war.
Revisionist history.

Half the deaths out of less than 1/3 of the population. They lost about 1.6 times as many per capita, but yes, less in absolute terms. Revisionist statistical BS on your part.
They also lost 390k civilians compared the 12k in the US. So by total lives lost they lost 50% more in absolute terms, and nearly 5x in per capita terms.

Statistics, damn statistics, and lies.
Would you care to conjecture how many civilian casualties the US would have sustained if the Nazis had occupied our country? Go ahead and use your per capita math.
I am not saying there weren't loyal French fighting throughout WWII nor that it was an 'easy' occupation for the French but Patrice is way off base and judging from the memorials to foreign soldiers who fell in defense of France, 'she' is not particularly indicative of the majority of French feeling on this matter.
