Last I recall Napoleon did pretty well, until he hit Russia and his scorch and burn policy made him retreat all the way to France. If he hadn't of burned every town to the ground he could have retreated to shelter over the winter campaign.

The French also helped us a lot during our Revolution, lets not forget that as well.

they blocked general corn-hole's escape to the sea, gave us some bling and sent a few doods to train us

ya they helped......but that doesnt make up for the pathetic defeats they have seen

lets see, who has kicked their butts

germans, british, italians, russians, muslims, the french

im joking really, but its just so easy to poke fun at em

You are forgetting Indo China. The French were in Vietnam way before we were, as were the British too. Too bad we didn't learn from their mistakes.

I wouldn't say we beat the crap out of the Vietnamese, and I will agree with you that when it became too political and everyone dragged ass, it became un-winnable.

back on topic first hit for GIS for "ugly gun" yields this

About to be the ugliest...I would think!

Quite sickening, definately the work of some mindless liberal! Probably a hard-core supporter of the Brady Bunch.
