It's funny how the French are portrayed as cowards in American popular culture, when in reality the French would've gotten the guillotines out already while the Americans... cower.

Are they? Where does that come from?
It used to be I guess a slur, "surrender monkeys," because France surrendered during WWII and there was a Nazi-collaborator government established filled with French politicians.
It's unfair given the reality and importance of the French resistance, but, that's where it comes from.

not even a joke, we're skipping the 4th and celebrating bastille day this year. Ten days apart and the food and drink are just better.
Certainly not the current French, though.
They no longer get the guillotines out, but they still protest like no one else.
Not always about the right issues, but at least they have the spirit
