#1 Mr Chirac told their representatives France "will never forget the blood spilled by your children for liberty".

When they liberated you, I don't think they intended to have their children die later.

#3 Question, is the DeGaul truly "rusting". I would have thought it'd spent enough time in dry dock to be well clear of rust. Piece of junk I have no problem with, and I agree with the 10 klicks as well, but I would think rusting is probably inaccurate.

#4 If it's ferrous and in salt water, it's rusting.

#5 My High School math teacher participated in that invasion. He said they called it the âChampaign Campaignâ because there was little resistance. He did mention that the French women were very âgratefulâ to the troops.

#6 It was nothing compared to the Moonshine War.
Or was that the Whiskey Rebellion?
and
Who Dumped the Gin into the Creek?
