And so, what? Poke 'em in the eye every chance you get? How civilized.

France is a US ally, not a colony. I don't think it is required to jump whenever the US says so. Even so, you may wish to keep up. Presently, France is the US military's key European ally:

France


French and American soldiers inspecting an Iraqi Type 69 tank destroyed by the French 6th Light Armored Division during Operation Desert Storm.

The second largest European contingent was from France, which committed 18,000 troops.[120] Operating on the left flank of the U.S. XVIII Airborne Corps, the main French Army force was the 6th Light Armoured Division, including troops from the French Foreign Legion. Initially, the French operated independently under national command and control, but coordinated closely with the Americans (via CENTCOM) and Saudis. In January, the Division was placed under the tactical control of the XVIII Airborne Corps. France also deployed several combat aircraft and naval units. The French called their contribution Opération Daguet.

Agree, but seriously you are the last person that should be making that point.

The next time you show some genuine gratitude and humility, I'll try not to poke you in the eye.

More heroes needed and less terrorists imho

If the West has become so gutless that it expects Iran to do the job then we might as well quit.

BTW the French are fighting them in Central Africa, while the cowardly look on .
