I think it’s a ironic that the historically incredibly-militaristic-and-highl-successful-at-it French have somehow developed a reputation for cowardice, based on the strategic idiocy of a few generals a couple of decades after they lost nearly an entire generation of men fighting a war.

Successful conquests of Britain - France 1, Germany 0.
Decisive, historic defeats of Moslem invasions - France 1, Eastern Roman Empire 0.

Of course, that said, successful conquests of Russia - France 0, Germany 0.
