   Go and look at the thousands and thousands of crosses in the military   
   cemeteries in the north of France and see how they are kept impeccably   
   and flowered regularly at the expense of the French nation, go and look   
   at a video of the welcome given to those few surviving heroes who   
   returned to the beaches for the D-Day 60th anniversary commemoration. Of   
   course France cares and is thankful. But where many of you US Americans   
   seem to go wrong is that you think this puts France in you reternal   
   debt, not to say thrall. it doesn't.

   And you fought the Germans to help France? Don't make me laugh,   
   the USA fought the Germans because it was in the interests of the USA,   
   nothing more, nothing less. Nothing wrong with that but do let's get the   
   facts straight.
