Read your history. When France surrendered in WWII to the Nazis the world was rocked back on its heels. France had NEVER surrendered to ANYONE since the days of the Vikings up until Hitler walked over them. Remember, the guys that made France surrender were the same guys that almost knocked over Russia as well, something that had only successfully been done by the Mongols. Also remember that in every war the US has fought in the only three that it could actually be considered a struggle would be the Civil War, the War of 1812, and WWII. Every single other one we were fighting someone who was vastly outweighed by us (the Mexican-American War, the Spanish-American War) or against someone who was already exhausted by a protracted struggle (WWI).
