Is France really hated in the USA ?

Replying to Britredditor · Or world war I. Why does everyone forget that they were even later to WWI?

Replying to Xaliver · seriously? This is their job. Why are they so goddamn lazy- drunk drivers are serious dangers. At least the chicago guy had an excuse other than that it was too much bother.
