Napoleon was Italian. :)

That's why the French were winning during the Napoleonic Wars, it's a very known rule: French only win when they are led by a non-French or when they are fighting against other French.

For more information on this subject, write "French military victories" on Google and click "I'm feeling lucky" :rofl:

I honestly don't think that France is the country that should be mocked most for its military record. Italy is much better target for jokes :rofl:

Well, the italians at least managed to win some of their colonial wars :D

It's just the way you look at it. You can mock every nation on Earth for losing or not winning wars.

Which one? They had a great deal of trouble winning in Libya and Ethiopia. French had much larger colonial empire and they managed to keep it for a lot longer.

Sure ;) We Czechs know that, that's why we surrender sooner than the war erupts :D

The history of Denmark is a good example of peaking too early. If you short it down, its basically 300 years of victory, and then a 1000 years of defeat. We even lost to Sweden :(
