The British retreated to defend their own country, the French ran or surrendered withput a fight rather than defend their own country that's the difference.
Without a fight? Have you ever heard of the Résistance, of the Free French Forces, of Charles de Gaulle, of Normandy Niemen? You dare to imply all these people did not give a proper fight?
Well, actually no because we are on the winners' side of WWII. If we had actually surrendered, we would have been with the losers, just like Russia was in WWI.
I'll admit that the officers and the general strategy was shit, but all of the countries were surprised by the Blitzkrieg, no country was prepared for that. Shitty strategy from equally shitty officer who thought they knew it all is what doomed us, but we are not cowards. It was not really the most modern army at the time, I would rather give this title to Germany since they improved warfare in so many ways and it is sort of the basis of modern military.
And so were the French army. Better tanks, it depends for what. Sure they had good armament and armor, but they had piss poor speed and autonomy which severely limited their usability and made them vulnerable targets.
Again, I think you confuse the joke with reality there. The strategy was flawed because the army was not prepared and the officers let a major flank completely undefended, which Germany used with success.
Uh, no? Free France, the Résistance and Normandy Niemen has existed since some chose to surrender, way before the Americans finally decided to show up.
No, It's just that I don't want to waste my time trying to compensate for your lack of education and bad faith. There is no point in arguing with someone like you.
@Jamie05rhs Sorry I got "triggered". It's just we keep hearing this bad joke so many times from people who don't know history, it's really tedious after a while. I mean I once heard an American say France lost both World Wars, and it was not a joke. At this point, it kind of makes me a bit hopeless for the people who take this joke seriously and genuinely think the French are incompetent cowards. Again, sorry for the hate.
Great idea pool should be a national part-time globally I can also highly recommend the Hungarian pinball museum in Budapest as your 5th date. Unlimited gameplay for a tenner
I wouldn't typically recommend it, but I met a guy when I was choosing colleges who met his girlfriend playing pool at a bar, so it really depends on the girl.

Well, be aware that other dudes are going to hit on her.
Dude no man ever hits on a girl I'm with.
This is actually a good idea , im down to get competitive on a fourth date
I haven’t played pool since I was a teenager. I had dream about having sex on the pool table.
If the girl wants to play pool, it would be fun.
lol depends on what kind of shooting was it hehe i mean as similar to pics you posted or otherwise hehe
It would drpwnd upon whether or not the female was interested in that sort of thing.
Where I live, very few females would be interested.
None of this shite is actual shooting pool, porn is not a good 4th date.
Don't think it is bad as long as neither judge the skills of the other.
Americans usually shoot schools, not pools, but whatever you like :D
If only we Americans surrendered our rifles as easy as the French do lol
Tell that to the British who ran away so fast they left all their equipment in Belgium and all before leaving Dunkerque!

Also, look up Battle of Pont St-Louis and see how "coward" the French soldiers were.
They still surrendered.
Actually yes. Plus it was against Italians.
Well, actually no because we are on the winners' side of WWII. If we had actually surrendered, we would have been with the losers, just like Russia was in WWI.
Russia didn't lose in ww1. They withdrew and made peace to fight a civil war.
They lost, their surrender deal included a big loss of territory with it, which was a big motivation later on for Stalin in WWII.
They later regained most of it.
Still a loss and a surrender deal to me.
Still at least they fired their rifles in combat.
As if the French did not even fight back... Dude, I get the joke, but don't start confusing the joke and reality.
Fact is the best armed most modern and largest military in the world at the time surrendered easily and fought worse than Poland.
I'll admit that the officers and the general strategy was shit, but all of the countries were surprised by the Blitzkrieg, no country was prepared for that. Shitty strategy from equally shitty officer who thought they knew it all is what doomed us, but we are not cowards. It was not really the most modern army at the time, I would rather give this title to Germany since they improved warfare in so many ways and it is sort of the basis of modern military.
Better tanks, more guns, better aircraft and the advantage of being the defender. I mean the German Army were still using horses.
And so were the French army. Better tanks, it depends for what. Sure they had good armament and armor, but they had piss poor speed and autonomy which severely limited their usability and made them vulnerable targets.
Also, so matter how powerful your army is, if your strategy is shit, there is a good chance you will experience more losses than you should.
If your strategy is surrender rather than fight you will lose.
Again, I think you confuse the joke with reality there. The strategy was flawed because the army was not prepared and the officers let a major flank completely undefended, which Germany used with success.
True but still you guys hadn't the grit to fight like the polish or Russians did.
Neither did the British. Sure the Russians did not surrender, but they had huge losses.
.. and because of those others who were brave enough to keep fighting you didn't grow up goose stepping.
Yeah, those others like the aforementioned Résistance, Free French Forces and Normandy Niemen for example.
Yeah once the US army showed up.
Uh, no? Free France, the Résistance and Normandy Niemen has existed since some chose to surrender, way before the Americans finally decided to show up.
Yep perhaps if they had fought instead of surrendering at the first shot there wouldn't have to be any resistance
If you think that is what happened, you are delusional.
"Neither did the British.". Wait, wait, wait. Hold the fuck up. Dude, you must be out of your mind. The British FOUGHT!
@Jamie05rhs fought well too. The Germans had respect for the British Tommy
Exactly!
@Jamie05rhs The French fought as well.
Debatable. Define fight?
Are you kidding?
Surrendering all the time isn't fighting
You know what? I'm done feeding the trolls. If you guys were not trolling, then I feel sorry for you.
^And another Frenchman surrenders. Lol
No, It's just that I don't want to waste my time trying to compensate for your lack of education and bad faith. There is no point in arguing with someone like you.
It was a joke, man. Relax.
@Jamie05rhs
Lol.
In all seriousness, though, I do appreciate the contributions of the French in fighting the war against ISIS.
@Jamie05rhs Too bad our government imports them on our own soil.
@Jamie05rhs I know. :/. It's complete madness. I feel sorry for you guys.
Also, please accept my apologies if you were offended by what I say earlier. I was just playing, man.

It's okay; I understand how you would feel that way.
I guess the French army hasn't been the same since Napoleon surrendered
We are not as great as back when Napoleon was there, but we are no small army.
That's what the Germans said, they had so many French soldiers surrendering without a fight they didn't know what to do with them.
@White-American89. Okay, okay... Don't you think you've beat this horse to death now?
@Jamie05rhs I guess no use beating a horse that's already surrendered. Lol

Get some help the way France needed us help during ww2?
Lmao. I give up.
@Jamie05rhs you French now?
😂😂
If you know that this appeals to her, it sounds fine :D
It all depends where's the pool... If you feel confident enough that you can handle the guys trying to put hands on her yea lol
you've got balls, poles/sticks, alcohol, hard bed of felt and a bet. how could this go wrong?
As long as she would enjoy it as well, then I do not see why not, could be fun.
I will definitely miss my shot if she takes her knickers off in front of me and uses them to tie her hair up with.

I don't know, what if you're better at using a stick than she is?
If you have the right bar available its a good idea I think.
If you're decent to good at it, yeah. Always worked out well for me
I say it is a good idea i gives you a sense of their competitiveness (plus you get to check out their ass when they take a shot)
Good only if she likes to play pool, otherwise an absolute NO !
