I have played Devil's Advocate on the side of the French before, just for the sake of debate, but if this story is true I sincerely doubt that I'll bother doing it anymore.
It's amazing that the French are snubbing the people who liberated them (ie the US and UK) and cozying up with the people who have been invading them almost every generation since the 1870's (ie Germany).
There are precedents for French rudeness to Americans and the British, and there were some historical alliances between the Germans and the French (almost half of Napoleon's Grande Armee was German, apparently) but for crying out loud, they spent the better part of the 20th century at each other's throats. What's with the buddy-buddy stuff now?
