The US marines have the better supplies, logistics and tech to be able to land an amphibious invasion compared to the french.

in the beginning of world war 2 the french had better tanks than the germans.the germans re-used them and made new panzers thanks to them.the americans had crap tanks called shermans,they only won because they outnumbered the germans that were fighting against millions of russians on the eastern front,if those troops were in normandy the allies would have never won the war.
they still have very good tanks and fighters.
I wonder how well the americans would have defended themselves against the germans if america was france .
americans are great at friendly fire and killing civilians tough

Is was really mostly Germans not people from all over europe. Russia also got their fair share of Germans.

the Char tank was a good tank and the fact the french got disheartened so easy and their military collapsed in front of a smaller, superior military force just proves that they aren't great fighters. The french had better tanks and more of them but they got their arses handed to them by the germans.
I understand they weren't prepared for blitzkrieg but once again the adoptation of the tactics by the germans and not the french proves my point once again
The french are lovers, not fighters

This isn't good. Bad bad bad. France can't be trusted.
I'll bet anyone here that at some point in the future,
that plutonium will be in the hands of terrorists and it
will be used against us or our interests.
I have a hard time believing that America can't convert to
nuclear fuel. I have a really hard time believing that.

Answer this: How wrong and evil could france think the USA is, when we saved them from a Tyrant in a similiar fassion as we are doing for the Iraqis? We helped them have a better future, which is the same thing we are doing in Iraq. So, obviously something is up with the French government. I think they are hiding something very important.
I fee as if the French people feel very different from that of their idiotic president!

I have a feeling that shipment is going to get hijacked, unless the whole thing is a trap.
I dunno, but sure as hell hope they better have top notch security around that!

Nobody is going to Hijack this boat with the British Royal Navy protecting it. Its not like terroist have a war ship they can take on the British Royal Navy with. Worst case they might be able to blow it up in port with a small bomb boat but thats a slim chance. These terrorist cant over power any army let alone the British, when they go head to head with a military like that they get mowed down. Theres a reason why they resort to bombings and not convential attacks.
