Basically it's shorthand for "I am an idiot".

At one of our Rememberance days, where the troops are on parade, a French woman said to me, "You English, you love your glorification of past battles. Us French would never carry on like this about our victories."

"Which victories would those be?"

If anything it shows self-involvement since you stood by and watched for years while Nazi Germany conquered the majority of Europe and only got involved when someone bombed one of your ports.

Are you forgetting a little French dude who conquered a huge part of Europe and went down as one of, if not the best military leaders in history?

I also remember some guy saying to me the French must be tough, because the French Foreign Legion was tough. Till I pointed out that it's made up of non-French volunteers. Retard.

lol, did you ever watch the Bad Lads Army type thing that was based on a few guys joining the Foreign Legion? The training they had to do was [censored] intense, you would not want to mess with those guys.

And why was Hitler able to rebuild the German military when it was supposed not allowed to after WWI. Who let that happen huh? The established world powers/countries on the same continent as Germany or a developing nation across a vast ocean? You're lucky we got involved at all. No need to thank us, thank the Japanese.

It's because we learned our lesson in World War I and we didn't want to be involved with all your problems again. We even passed some laws designed to keep us out of wars like this in the future 5 years before WWII started. But noooo, you guys couldn't keep your planes in the hangar...

lol so Britain was bad for appeasing Hitler, and Britain was bad also for then engaging Hitler? Make up your minds.
