    Thanks to De Gaulle, “Humble” is not the word I would use to describe us, the French nation 🤣 .

        Isn’t American doctrine incredibly flexible? Maybe our rules of engagement are fairly strict, but commanders have a lot of choice in how they achieve objectives.

          Inflexibility is more a stereotype of Americans in general than of American soldiers, also these stereotypes are from quite a while ago so they have shifted

      The are many words that I would use to describe the French, some more flattering than others, but humble would definitely not be among them.
