The funnyest thing is the notion that the US has a better millitary history than the French.
They've lost battles to Mexicans, Canadians, Indians, The Japanese, The British, The Vietnamese and even themselves in their rich and glorious military history.
In the opening stages of the Gulf Wars I and II, more allied casualties were caused by 'friendly fire' from the 'expertly' trained US forces, than were inflicted by the entire Iraqi army - talk about not wanting the French Army behind you, I'd much prefer the French to the Americans.
If the US wasn't bankrupting itself by funding their huge military budget, they might realise that behind all the shiny guns and designer uniforms, their troops are regarded as the least disciplined, worst trained, slapdash outfit in the world.
If the American people's anscestry wasn't largely British, they'd be in real trouble!
Now that IS funny.
