You are the German Bundeswehr. You pioneered the concept of Blitzkrieg, have outstanding military equipment and generally very good commanders, but you are held back by a crazy dictator and a political propensity to be distracted by genocide.

i meant that i got a lot of shots in the arse.
The French reputation for surrender comes from one event, the Battle of France. In that conflict their High Command was dominated by the defensive, timid, and kind of dumb Gamelin, and their armor, while the individual units were more powerful than the early Panzers, was dispersed in an infantry-support role. If the French Army had been properly commanded, it would have been able to resist the Germans far longer than they did, and it held out longer than the Germans expected, and if it had been properly organized, it would probably have been able to end the war in 1941 or '42. It was certainly powerful enough.
The defeats in Algeria and Dien Bien Phu were also results of failures of organization and command, rather than any deficiency in the French soldier or equipment, which in the latter case was superior than that of their opponents. In the former case, all the fighting men/women were roughly equal in prowess. French weapons, mainly the Exocet, helped the Argentines and the Iraqis resist the British and Americans in their wars for far longer than they would have ordinarily.
Beyond that, it says something about a country that does not need to use its military to solve its problems.
Lol yeah, its pretty sad when the only war you can win is against yourself :D
