I merely stated that they were not "in the fight" for 4 straight years, like the Resistance was in France and many other countries. As for De Gaulle, even great men and heroes can have major personality flaws. A lot of people didn't like Patton, for example. Richard Marchenko has plenty of detractors. Why? because they were/are exceedingly difficult to get along with. As for my tiny mind, Connaught Ranger, at least I don't spend my day starting internet fights like a 12 year old.
Curse words I can handle, vulgarity as gross uneducation is more difficult.

Did you take a look at the Free French involvment during WWII? Hint, google Kufra and Bir Hakeim for starters. They waited for four years before joining the fight you say?

As for the personality issues, only tiny minds focuses on them instead of people's achievements.
