Just a minor point, but are you aware that america has never won a war without outside help? NEVER :p

Excellent point!

I am not entirely sure that statement is correct.

Let's look at the War of 1812 (2nd War for Independence), the Spanish-American War, the Mexican-American War, and the little known Philippine-American War, just for starters.

I can't find much mention of US allies in these conflicts. I am continuing to look though.

I will get back with a more definitive answer, or perhaps someone else will be able to find something.

I think those are "wars" we initiated to gain land. I know the Spanish -American war was., we blew up a ship in their harbor and blamed it on them to start the war. there was a article in the paper about it recently. and the mexican war, when we attacked vera cruz, wish full thinking to grab more mexican land.

I hate it when a humor thread takes a sudden left turn and becomes more serious....but...

I will only suggest you do a google search on the "wars" mentioned and see what the wars were really fought over. I will not debate it until the facts are straight.

For the "ship" that was blown up. Nobody knows. It was the USS Maine, one of the first US battleships. I will give you a site as a starting point. http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq71-1.htm

I only ask you do a decent search, and not rely on one source of info (newspaper) to base your argument on.

Gallic Wars - Lost. In a war whose ending foreshadows the next 2000 years of French history, France is conquered by of all things, an Italian.

Hundred Years War - Mostly lost, saved at last by female schizophrenic who inadvertently creates The First Rule of French Warfare; "France's armies are victorious only when not led by a Frenchman."

Italian Wars - Lost. France becomes the first and only country to ever lose two wars when fighting Italians.

Wars of Religion - France goes 0-5-4 against the Huguenots.

Thirty Years War - France is technically not a participant, but manages to get invaded anyway. Claims a tie on the basis that eventually the other participants started ignoring her.

War of Devolution - Tied. Frenchmen take to wearing red flowerpots as chapeaux.

The Dutch War - Tied.

War of the Augsburg League/King William's War/French and Indian War - Lost, but claimed as a tie. Three ties in a row induces deluded Frogophiles the world over to label the period as the height of French military power.

War of the Spanish Succession - Lost. The War also gave the French their first taste of a Marlborough, which they have loved ever since.

American Revolution - In a move that will become quite familiar to

future Americans, France claims a win even though the English colonists saw far more action. This is later known as "de Gaulle Syndrome", and leads to the Second Rule of French Warfare; "France only wins when America does most of the fighting."

French Revolution - Won, primarily due the fact that the opponent was also French.

The Napoleonic Wars - Lost. Temporary victories (remember the First Rule!) due to leadership of a Corsican, who ended up being no match for a British footwear designer.

The Franco-Prussian War - Lost. Germany first plays the role of drunk Frat boy to France's ugly girl home alone on a Saturday night.

World War I - Tied and on the way to losing, France is saved by the United States. Thousands of French women find out what it's like to not only sleep with a winner, but one who doesn't call her "Fraulein." Sadly, widespread use of condoms by American forces forestalls any improvement in the French bloodline.

World War II - Lost. Conquered French liberated by the United States and Britain just as they finish learning the Horst Wessel Song.

War in Indochina - Lost. French forces plead sickness, take to bed with the Dien Bien Flu.

Algerian Rebellion - Lost. Loss marks the first defeat of a western army by a Non-Turkic Muslim force since the Crusades, and produces the First Rule of Muslim Warfare; "We can always beat the French." This rule is identical to the First Rules of the Italians, Russians, Germans, English, Dutch, Spanish, Vietnamese and Esquimaux.

War on Terrorism - France, keeping in mind its recent history, surrenders to Germans and Muslims just to be safe. Attempts to surrender to Vietnamese ambassador fail after he takes refuge in a McDonald's.

I got this from Kevin McHugh's "And now for something entirely different" thread. It's HUMOR!!

Here's another joke :

How did the French advertise surplus military rifles after WWII? "Never been used. Dropped only once ."

Keep in mind: My grandfather was French.:kiss
