Bad jokes aside, I wouldn't mind the French on my side. If we're going by statistics they've been incredibly successful.

If I remember rightly there was an episode of QI in which they thoroughly debunked the claim that the French surrender a lot and that they don't do their share of international military responsibilities.

What are France's greatest successes since 1940? The Nazi invasion? Vichy France? Algeria? Indochina?

They did a fine job in Cote d'Ivoire...I'll give 'em that....

If someone is going to say that the idea of French military jokes are just myths, then one might reasonably expect to see some real examples of successes....
