French Revolution

French Revolution and the heads that rolled, did not get old, just crimson in the barrel, revolution warmed, Napolean dawned, Europe burned in bloody hell... The slaughter of war that man abhors the French had their turn in the barrel, they suffered a hundred years later, in the great world wars, the balance sheet parallel…. Don Johnson Inspired by John Smith

Napoleon was the side to be on. Marshall Foch fought the Boch. Hitler did 'em in and, now, the French won't fight again. Maybe they're right.
