On Thu, 27 Mar 2003, the conservative Weekly Standard was quoted:
Still not convinced? Consider the greatest military collapse of modern
times, the infamous French fold at the start of World War II. Germany
invaded France on May 10, 1940, didn't get to Paris until June 14
I suppose it would be gauche to point out that in those 6 weeks, the French lost 124,000 dead and 200,000 wounded -- more than the US lost in Korea and Vietnam combined. But somehow conservatives think our defeat in Vietnam was brave and what the French did was cowardly. It beggars belief.
