What exactly has France done militarily in the last 195 years, except claim credit for others efforts or lose?
Has France won any war on it’s own since 1812? All they accomplished in WWI was killing millions of French and British troops with mindless repetition of failed strategies, in WWII they were careful to move to the front of the line as soon as the fighting was over.
Even Napoleon had to be imported (from Sardinia), and despite his pretensions, DeGaul was no Napoleon. The last real military leader who was purely French was Joan d’Arc, who was psychotic.
