For the first time, AMERICA was seeking help from France . . but France has turned her back!!!
Please remember these Dead Americans when you go shopping, as the French seem to have forgotten them.
France has every right to disagree with America, but France has moved from simple dissent to active hostility toward America. France President Chirac warned East European nations that if they sided with the US, France would oppose their membership in the European Union. This very week, William Safire reported in the New York Times that France has been secretly helping to arm Iraq and has been helping Irag build long range missiles. These same missiles may NOW possibly be used against our own US soldiers. Just as France has exercised its right to disagree, all Americans can exercise their right to boycott and help countries that do not stand with us. French Products and Companies to Boycott:

Wow.........good post! While I have some issues with the war in Iraq, but our troops are there because they've been ordered by the Commander In Chief, and I support our troops 100%. I know it's short notice..........Turkey day tomorrow, but Christmas is still a ways away, I encourage all to look into adopting a military family that has a husband or father overseas for the holidays. It doesn't take much, just a lil love and some pocket change. I mean we all have the extra dough to buy and run these expensive toys. Help some of the military families out during these trying times.

How do you go about doing that? Sounds like a good idea

You can contact your local USO, and they can forward to a local organizer.

[Jeanyus]

400,000 Americans were killed in France during WW II, hundreds of thousands were wounded, and millions fought to free France from Nazis, how quickly they forget. If the French want to find a reason to like America, all they have to do is take a walk through the cemetarys in France.
If you want to send a Christmas package to soldiers who are fighting overseas, go to this site. http://www.anysoldier.us/index.cfm
The gifts are good to help moral. Soldiers need support from Americans.With all the fighting going on right now, our soldiers need you.

[jdogginla]

If you can't find a local military family to sponsor..........you can send care packages to our troops.
Again you can contact the local USO or two websites listed below

GREAT POST....I couldn't agree more. Those cheese eating surrender monkeys forget who their friends are. If history repeats its self and it usually does I hope to god we don't shed another drop of American blood for these traitors. Let them go down next time. If it weren't for us they'd be speaking German and saluting Hitler's predecssor. :yuk:

[Kurtis500]

But give the real citizens of France the benefit of the doubt. It was the French Underground that saved hundreds of our soldiers lives when caught behind enemy lines during WWII. Its was the underground that provided is with intel about the german forces. Pretty much saved our American asses in France.
Anyway, Its just a spin on things. Everytime I start to hate thier president or get pissed at the new coming from France about anti-Americian crap, I just remind myself about what I know regarding WWII and what the real people of France did for us.
Forensic
Not always. My grandpa's neighbor was a B-24 bombardier shot down over France. Once on the ground Frenchmen approached him and said they were 'free French'. They walked him right to the Germans and he spent 3 years in a POW camp. His anger against the Germans is almost gone, but he passionatly hates the french for thier treasonous part.
Remember, part of France was not occupied by the Germans because of a collaborating French 'Vische' government. We even fought with the French Navy IN WWII off the coast of Africa until a surrender was agreed upon.
Lastly, WE SAVED THIER ASSES. NOT the other way around. Collaboratoring French cost many thier lives. More people would have died without underground intel, but Germany's defeat was going to happen without a French Underground.
France could have avoided thier occupation if they had the balls to stand up to a international rule breaker when they had the chance. Remember, Hitler had 22,000 troops at one time with orders to retreat if the French resisted his occupation of the Rhineland which was against international sanctions. They stood by like they usually have done...and got what the deserved a few years later.
France IS the example of what happens when you ignore a growing threat.

I've posted this one before. I don't expect much from France.

I diddent see Gray Goose Vodka on that list and it is from the French! There are too many members on this forum drink it and there are many others just as good.
I have been boycotting French products for quite a while now!

[1978 Rogers]

Some very good points...
Ya know. **** the French. I was trying to play devils advocate to start some dialog on it but there really is no getting around it.
The French Suck.

I certainly can't argue with you. I 'd know why they think their so great. What's the deal.

Check it out first. The news reported that the Military mail system was not going to deliver any packages overseas that were NOT posted to an individual. They feel its not worth the added risk of extra mail convoys to distrubute all the packages. Not my opinion just what I caught on the news.
Edit**** Had to add the "not"

If it's true, that's too bad especially during the Holiday Season. Something from home sure means a lot to our soldiers over there.

[Desert Rat]

Just what I heard on the news. yeah I think it sucks too.
Maybe a comment in your local newspaper asking for names and addresses of servicemen/women to to send "Care packages" to??

[Krumbsnatcher]

Lets get the word out, I am fairly new to the board and do not post unless i have something to say or feel strongly toward the post.
thanks and have a great Turkey day, it is good to be an American, God bless our troops and our family's.

[Misogynist]

I have to laugh at the French.... Within the next twenty years... because of the French allowing Muslims to immigrate to their country... The true "French" will be outnumbered. The French like most native born Americans have a declining birthrate... The muslims on the other hand are breeding like flies. We will probably see in our lifetimes a western european country being ruled by "Sharia Law". ( muslim religious law ). The French born Muslims don't identify themselves as being "French"... They identify themselves as being "Muslim" that happened to be born in France. They have sealed their own fate by inviting that cheap muslim immigrant labor into their country...
Viva la France......... :devil:

The big difference here is the people running across our border "Want" to assimilate... They want a piece of the American pie... and if they become naturalized citizens... they can strive for it. Muslims on the other hand don't want to assimilate... they want everyone to conform to their way of life. It is written in the koran. I can hardly wait until the day the french fashion industry is forced to close because their clothing is deemed "indecent" by the ruling Mullah and all french women are forced to wear black robes that cover them from head to toe...... :220v: I bet the nudies on St Tropez will love that......... :p

In a previous post I quoted a New York Times article that said the french ankle-grabbing a-holes were sharing info given them by our military officials re: our troop movements, etc, (strategic stuff) with Hussein loyalists / insurgents that resulted in many of our strikes being ambushed.
Oh...one more french thing to boycott: Grey Goose

[little rowe boat]

The French are COWARDS and will always be COWARDS,they can kiss my red blooded AMERICAN ass.
It's always easy to recognize the French military,they are the ones with their arms in the air surrendering.
I wish our government would cut all political ties with them.They need us alot more than we will ever need them.

I remember doing the Pledge in grade school. There were some kids that didn't do it because of belief or whatever. But to ban all kids from doing the Pledge is WRONG.

So I'm new here and haven't posted anything yet...but this is a good thread. Thanks to Jeanyus for posting a link to send pkg's to soldiers. It all looks legit, but can you confirm that the Postal Service will send the package? I don't know a whole lot about the French's policies, but if what I read above what true, F'em. I'd like to shove this light saber right up their @55E5!!!! :sqeyes: :lightsabe

Actually, you are very correct...Among the French Nationals(who I give the benefit of the doubt), they have not forgoton whose graves they navigate nor why. It is known through some circles that any support would have angered insergents who live throughout their country and were afraid of unrest... Then there's that whole food for oil scandle...
I still hear that some members of the EU want to ban to form a superpower... The good news is that no country is willing to give up any power individually to form such a real Union...
Also, I refuse to boycott any of the companies listed that actually employ Americans within our country... Jobs are scarce as it is these days...
BTW, I'm not of French decent.... I'm a good ol'e American( Mexican, Polish, Dutch) Republican :D
