Yeah, it must have taken a lot of cowardice to kick their arses in nearly every single battle since Joan of Ark. That's the big problem -- the British have always been big-time bigots (it's a part of their identity, to look down on other peoples) and the Americans are sucking up to them, imitating them, in particular in the Anglo/French rivalry. Pathetic, considering that the Brits look down on the Americans, too... “Episode where Lisa is Joan of Arc and is leading the French army against the English.

In Season 1 where Bart comes back from France: ‘well to make a long story short, I only met 1 nice Frenchman’.

Season 8. Hank Scorpio,’ Hey Homer, which is your least favorite country ? France or Italy ?’
Homer: ‘France’
Hank Scorpio:’ ah ah, nobody ever says Italy’.
