Is France the rubbishest country in the world ever?

[PM-Junkie]

Imagine a war between the French and the Italians...it would be a race to see if the French could surrender before the Italians swapped sides.

The likely outcome is that the Italians would join the French, and then the French would have nobody to surrender to so they would blame us and the Americans for starting it in the first place.

Apparently the Italian army in Northern Africa were too busy defending their tomatoes and salami from German soldiers to actually do any fighting.

Allied press reports of Italian military prowess in the Second World War were almost always dismissive. This is primarily the result of British wartime propaganda produced when the Italian 10th Army was destroyed by significantly smaller British forces during the early phase of the North African Campaign.[49]

Oddly enough they bare the French in great respect went it comes to the military.
Maybe because we gave them hell during ww1.

They take the piss of the italian's military though, I agree.
