Yes, yes, but other than that, what have the French really ever done for us?

Napoleonic law, the metric system, pasteurization

I wish. Sadly, despite being heavily armed, Americans are too polite and gentle when it comes to their politicians.

They aren't? They are talking about a loan which has nothing to do with indemnity / reparations.

They financed the US independence movement / war out of self interest to screw on England and any way they got paid with the Quasi-War.

Looking at history the US were never a reliable partnet, cough remember the maine cough.
