It would be funnier if France hadn't participated in, and won more wars than pretty much any other country in modern history.

tbf isn't that what makes it funny
It's like naming a vicious guard dog "Princess".
Mfw the French find me:
Meh, they are old and worn out.
France jokes by Americans are usually just embarassing because they show how ignorant most Americans are about military history.
PugJesus I know you're not ignorant, so in this case it's just confusing.
France jokes are part of my heritage, and no amount of fully justified beatings by angry Frenchmen will ever fully stop me from finding them funny
Oh, you're descended from people oppressed by the French. (audience member: "that could be anyone!") Got it, makes sense now.
I dunno, this feels pretty accurate to WW2 to me. Their tanks were all stuck in the wrong place and not allowed to go fight, so they basically did have to sit and watch in the rear view mirror as the commanders kept going "It's a diversion! Trust me!"
Hey now, you guys don't understand, he isn't claiming that they run away from the fight, no, the fight just always ends up being behind their front line while they keep going "It's just a diversion! The REAL battle will be here for sure!"
