in France where they at least used to love Americans?

I don't think this is accurate also after what US troops did in France post normandy... this is tone deaf

Hey Dude or Dudette I just got around to reading this. Sorry for the late reply. How come GI's did this? Also if I was going to live there wouldn't it be up to me to kick the ever living day lights out of the men commiting this? What I meant was maybe get a house home or whatever. For pretty cheap since France was bombed to shit. Fix it up grow a decent garden and maybe open up a free for all farmers market?
