re: #224 William Lewis

I am sorry someone didn’t realize your humor in it, but I can understand his reaction. But the reaction of wingnuts to French military sanity was extreme and it’s difficult sometimes in a text only message to convey what you really mean.

In the end, my own anger at the wingnuts is why I have this shirt:

and the humor issue is why I use Sarc tags early and often.

This shirt reminds me way back of something in comics in the aftermath of the good ol’ WoT. Ultimate Marvel (the parallel soft-reboot of the mainstream Marvel books) its Captain America taunt an enemy by pointing to the A on his helmet and screaming ‘Do you think this stands for France?!’, as a statement that he wouldn’t give up, in an obvious jab to the French for supposedly being cowards. In response, the then-writer for the mainstream Captain America had him go on an illustrated monologue about the bravery of the French soldiers he fought beside in WWII, as a total contrast.
