Support NeoGAF

[BaronLundi]

A major power will get flak for surrendering so quickly in the biggest, deadliest war known to mankind where the entire world had to band together to conquer the most obvious evil in memory.

I suggest you get your "Stupidest quote of the thread" trophy for your above comment and exchange it pronto for some kind of easy-to-read history book which would surely help you not confusing good ol' WWII with some sub-par Lord of the Rings plot (or was it RE5?).

I dont understand any american hate on the french, if it wasnt for french support during the revolutionary war the USA wouldnt even exist.

Also the French were the only ones to have ever conquered europe from madrid to moscow (under napoleon)

Holy shit this is the worst thread I've ever seen on this site.

I don't think you can really count civil wars. That's like playing checkers against yourself and then putting another 'win' on your record.

Just saw this on the way to work (pic is from here):

The Army came out with their new recruitment campaign a few weeks ago, with a "Devenez vous-même" (Become Yourself) claim leading to their website at devenezvousmeme.com (becomeyourself.com)

Now, the billboards for BF:BC2 just went up, and over the standard art, they feature a "Devenez plus que vous-même" (Become More Than Yourself) claim in the same font as the Army billboard, with devenezplusquevous-meme.com leading to the official site for the game.

I thought that was both ballsy and clever.

Clearer pictures:

Surprised they didn't do the white flag thing.

Move this piece of shit to the OT

 

[TheExodu5]

Poster is pretty tasteless, and so is the hate on the French.

 

[Flambe]

Total hypothetical, I know, but if the US had been right next-door to Germany they probably would have been overrun too v0v.

Silly to get all high and mighty when you turtle across a strategically defensive ocean and mass up a tank rush for two years while building superweapons.

Has it been said yet?

What do you mean?

You mention past events, but in current politics US and French have disagreed quite a bit...

Too bad the french wouldn't listen to the US, really.

I think this qualifies for OT

Apparently the Army asked for it to be removed, and it will be now the desired effect has been obtained...

AAHHH! Fuck our country man. fuck this. How is that even possible. Disgusting.

On the other hand, this is pretty funny (for anyone who speaks french)

Bring it.

EA France did this knowing that the French army would ask them to take them down.

Oldest trick in the book.

Yup, beat you by thirty minutes :lol Didn't know if this required a new thread, was pretty afraid to see it get derailed much like this one did.

As a French-American, it's disturbing how disappointed I can be by both countries. Then again, as a human being, I'm disappointed by human beings very often :lol

 

[thetrin]

I always find it funny that Americans can dish it out, but they get so fucking butthurt when people make fun of them.

Get over it, guys. America actually IS the butt of many jokes. IT'S OKAY.

French joke from circa 2003:
Bush et Osama font une course, qui gagne? Osama, par deux tours!

Spoiler

Bush and Osama are having a race, who's winning? Osama, by two laps/towers! [homonym in French]

I honestly have no answers as to why this thread hasn't been locked or moved to Off-Topic. This has been four pages with maybe 10 comments related to the original post and the rest is circular, pointless bashing of other countries' military. What is the point?

 

[Shambles]

Iraq (Irak?) is not an example of a weak military. We came in and stopmed ass in 2 different countries. The problem is we stayed and that introduces new problems all of its own.

Wait what? Going in and killing everyone and leaving right away would have made it a success somehow? You also don't need to double reply.

To start things off.

 

[LQX]

Holy shit some are sensitive. Bringing up wars that happened 200 years ago, hypothetical situations on how the US would have been invaded and taken over if Germany was next door. All over a ad most likely spearheaded by French EA employees which really is not that negative. Grow some skin.
