The US: “haha the French surrender a lot”

Reality: The French actually protest shit and US citizens will roll over and die if you tell them cheeseburger prices might go up a dollar if they resist.

I’m in Canada and we’re really not much better in many ways, but we can always look to the US for comfort knowing we’re not that bad.

French surrender jokes are a British thing, not American.

Ehh, definitely see it a lot in the 'murican zone. Maybe they picked it up from the british, but between the freedom fries and the white flag, the average yankee has a lot of disdain for the frog.
