      French soldiers died in fighting alongside the US in Afghanistan. It was a deeply unpopular war, but after 9/11 the US invoked NATO article 5, so the French along with other European nations sent young men to die alongside American soldiers.

      I don’t think the freedom fries and “France surrendered” remarks are the problem.

      It’s the “Russians should invade them, and I’ll encourage it.” remarks from the next president.
