There my friend, you are mistaken!
We French had sacrificed millions of lives in WW1 and would not like to repeat the same mistake in WW2. We are a little smart to let our friends fight the enemies. We did not wish to end up in a deadlock like we did with Germany in WW1.
Military wise, yes my dear friend, we are as advanced. What USA has, we also possess.
France freed the world from the Inquisition. France provided money and weapons to USA in her fight for independence from England. Last and not least, the statue of Liberty in New York was a gift of friendship from France. Pardon, but France was the first to invent democracy which the USA followed.
So we are very good friends with USA. 8)
MARC said:8) Yes, people always think USA is the best. But wait a moment and consider this -- to be in France is safer than to be in USA? France has prevented any attacks by her enemies on her. Yet, the US has not been able to prevent or foresee attacks on her soil (Sep 11-- pardon me!).
So it's not the size that matters but the strength of a military force must take into consideration its effective deterrence from enemy attacks. If it is successful in this aspect and has prevented any enemy from doing damages on its own soil, then it seems that the military force of that country is stronger. :?:
