It's actually a sport based on the early works of Pietre Parkour. He goes by the alias of l'homme-araignée as he goes from rooftop to rooftop fighting crime shooting sticky ropes from his wrists.
Let's not forget the French had our backs during our revolution. They've also helped us out numerous more times. Traditionally, they're big on freedom and patriotism. Lafayette is a French hero to our country.
Someone explained it to me this way; It’s what happens when you lose all of those fighting men, and then over a generation or two, who’s left but the weak and everyone else who stayed behind and didn’t fight. Certainly not the only cause but a huge contributing factor. Take ww2 into account and it explains a lot of Europe
The guy in charge of French defense in WW2 had been at Verdun 25 years earlier. Literally hundreds of thousands dead - ~2500 dead per day (average) for 302 days.
I've heard some historians say that when the Blitz came, he didn't have the stomach for another slaughter. And it was obvious within a day or two that slaughter was the only option - 3rd generation war was insanely effective at forming, then extinguishing, pockets. The Germans demonstrated skill at this basically from first contact.
If they hadn't surrendered, half of their young men would have died, and the rest would have surrendered a few days or a few weeks later anyway.
Skip forward 80 years, and observe that France is noticably less cucked than Germany. Still not great, of course. I think the theory is right - willingness to fight is genetic, and if your country loses too much of it, you are fucked even if it takes a century for the lack of those genes to be felt.
And the Frenchman who chose to save his nation's fighting men made the right choice. I hope it was enough.
(I basically stopped making French surrender jokes when I learned about Verdun and saw some pictures of the ossuary they built there. That is some sobering shit.)
The french were bitches before WWI. They repeatedly got their asses kicked in the 1700's until napoleon. After napoleon finally got his ass kicked they proceeded to get their asses kicked in 1870. which lead to WWI which lead to WWII. bitches always started another war because they were pissed off about getting their asses kicked.
"LaPierre"?
Sounds French, to me.
And we all know about Frenchmen surrendering their firearms.
Proud lifetime member of GOA right here!
Can you even sign up for a lifetime membership anymore?? 🤔
I like cheese. I was a cheese maker.
It wasn't supposed to be like this.
Blessed are the cheese makers.
I'm Brian and so is my wife!
That would be Frumunda? user name checks out
I don't think they're all democrats
We're not :)
what else can you expect from a country who's national animal is a chicken.
literally, go look it up if you want to call my bluff.
Parkour, their national martial art, is all about running away as fast as you can.

Not all French are cowards my dude.
we know, we're just fucking around. and there was The French Resistance too.

Ok that creates a smirk worthy of the Sandmann
But... It's... Hardcore parkour...
Silly french fuckers. Parkour is falling with style
I just can't believe B13 was remade as Brick Mansions.
It’s spelled “savate” although it does involve feet. Bruce borrowed from it, as he did from fencing and many other good sources.
In one on one, I think the clinching of MMA > savate.
The French were bad asses until WWI devastated them. I agree they've been kind of bitches since then though.
Also, McConnell has been pretty damn good when on the defensive. I wish he could press his advantage more when he has it.

Doesn't seem to apply to Russia.

You skipped over a whole lot of Napoleonic ass kicking there
Damn it you beat me to it. Anyone familiar with the famous "French Salute"?
It's the same as our "My hands are up, I surrender!"
The French are supposed to be our Revolutionary Allies. They even Gifted us the Statue Of Liberty, to Commemorate Our Success in attaining Liberty.

Cmon LaPierre, get the damn Lead Out Of Your Ass. You comfortable, bloated, chiseler. This is why you exist.
