I enjoy history as well, and those guys were savages. The Terror was some sick shit, and their Emperor was God. Not sure when the bad rap started. Maybe when they cashed in and depleted U.S. gold reserves in the 70s?
Chirac was a SOB and France deals behind our backs to terrorists. You are a dumbass if you believe they are our friends.
