France was also the loudest opponent within NATO of the second Gulf War, and they also ejected all the US nuclear sites from their country in the 60s. It's the reason why the "French are cowards" trope keeps getting pushed in American culture.

"French are cowards" trope
Yeah I hate that one. France being great and the French being a bunch of legends aside, the French army is the most successful in all of history to the best of my knowledge. That one "recent" blip aside.
You have to hand it to the Germans though... The oul blitzkrieg was a game changer. No shade on the French. Maybe a little for not reinforcing the Ardennes route but sure look, hindsight is 20/20 and all that.

Even then, France held out for more days than many other WW2 countries who don't get accused of cowardice for it.

Yeah in the face of it they were pragmatic. Given the circumstances, after the initial outmanoeuvre I've never seen anyone criticise what they did with a meaningful alternative and they ate shit to get the Brits back across the channel so they could fight another day.
Vive la France! 🇫🇷
