Hi folks,
I was just wondering why some people on Youtube (among other places) always refer to the French army as one that surrenders, pulls out white flags, doesn't want to fight, etc. Is there any truth to this or if it's just something that was made up to discredit the French in general ?
My (new) brother-in-law is French and has spent many years in their army before immigrating to Canada, but my sister told me he does not like to talk about it. Besides he's a nice person and I would not like to be rude with a question like that, so I figured someone here might be able to shed some light on the matter.
I did try to search the army.ca archive but nothing of interest came up on the subject.
Regards,
