David Watson
Comparing a traitor with a national hero is kinda stupid
Anthony Ross
i really don't see how you could call him based
Hudson James
Why would /fr/ hate him? I thought they'd love him since they slob all over Macron's cock.
Evan Ramirez
Which one is the traitor and what is his treason ?
Hudson Murphy
lol no they're unironically nazi bootlickers
macron is just a meme but not from /fr/
if you make a macron edition they will be so triggered they'll make another one
Ian Lewis
De Gaulle didn't betray France
Helping the invaders is treason
Carter King

he did what he could to prevent more french deaths
Jaxson Kelly
apparently he was ungrateful to allied forces but I think thats just because he is french ultimately good guy
William Phillips
the french should all be dead
Colton Martinez
When it's raining shit, someone as to mop the floor. Pétain was 84 years old in 1940, and he was already a war hero (the hero of Verdun, the longest battle in known history btw) He didn't do it for fame or glory. He mopped the fucking floor while De Gaulle was smoking cigar with churchil in london.
Aaron Clark
pauvre appât gros
>while De Gaulle was smoking cigar with churchil in london.
you mean trying to get the allies support, leading the free french and organise the resistance
And why post durandal
Gabriel Watson
backstabbing cunt
Christopher Collins
explain
Nolan Cruz
52% of the free french killed during last year of war were maghrebis. French a shit
Eli Morales
Because Pétain is like Roland, a sword in a mountain. Neither of them won their war, but they died so victory could come. Roland died on his sword and Pétain a baissé son froc. French heroes...
Vercingetorix, jeanne d'arc, napoléon, nobody won in the end. France is a tragic hero
Adam Morris
He triggered (and still triggers) the collaborationnistes despite having been relatively merciful towards them when France was freed.
Matthew Torres
De Gaulle was a man who harbored a lot of delusions about it still being the 19th century and France being a superpower. The Soviets mostly humored him and knew perfectly well that France was a dependency of the US in the event of a Warsaw Pact-NATO conflict. He also far overstayed his welcome and finally had to retire after the 1968 student demonstrations. The guy was pretty far removed from how the average Frenchman lived and had no clue whatsoever about economics or other issues affecting normal people.
Mason Gomez
had no reason to hold a grudge against us and bit the hand that fed him again for no reason. did more than anyone to fuck up and ruin our relations with europe
Ian Morris
"La vie de Pétain fut successivement banale, puis glorieuse, puis déplorable, mais jamais médiocre."
As De Gaulle said of him.
Evan Allen
*tip fedora*
Joseph Collins
He wasn't, it's just another case of burgers being thin skinned autists
Asher Nelson
He's a hero because he basically made France a "winner" in the WW2, which was not really the case. That gave France a seat at the Security Council. He also made France a nuclear power and told the Americans to gtfo.
Joseph Hall
He's ok. He butted heads with the other allies and especially Roosevelt but that's because he put France's interests above all else, and that's exactly what a nation's leader should do. Maybe he was a bit delusional about France's place in the world by thinking they were on the same level as America and the Soviet Union, but he wasn't exactly alone in thinking that prior to the Suez Crisis.
Joshua Russell
he was a barbaric subhuman like every french
Jason Harris
>had no reason
You dont know shit, FDR overstepped his boundaries and Churchill was a cunt.
Dominic Lewis
he liberated france without *ngl* aid
Evan Brooks
Respect. Even my commie grandfather respected him.
Jacob Ortiz
>He's ok. He butted heads with the other allies and especially Roosevelt but that's because he put France's interests above all else, and that's exactly what a nation's leader should do
As we see now in 2018, that causes butthurt from some quarters.
Chase Martin
The last of the Frenchmen.
>had no reason to hold a grudge against us
You are aware of the fact that Churchill and FDR tried to have him replaced with Henri Giraud, right? The only reasons this didn't continue is because the Free French themselves didn't like Giraud (most likely because he only barked Washington's orders) and because the British War Council had warned Churchill that replacing De Gaulle would mean the collapse of the Free French and French Resistance.
>did more than anyone to fuck up and ruin our relations with europe
That'd be Churchill, who himself stated that he'd always pick America over France. He also singlehandedly created the mythos of the "special relationship".
Lincoln Foster
how would he feel if he saw France today ?
Cooper Evans
piss off should've let you get raped by the jerries
wrong about churchill but you're clearly partisan so it's pointless talking about it
Chase Morris
your racist uncle that decided to go innawoods because neighbors tresspassed his yard or something.
Christopher Miller
When your country gets steamrolled by g*rmans but it doesn't matter because your sworn enemies the anglo-saxons will liberate it for you.
