My grandfather was one of the band of brothers that landed on the beach, fought in battle of the bulge, and ultimately Bastogne.
He and my grandmother were pretty poor, but he was invited to some parade commemorating the liberation of France. They went. The French citizens spat at him. He literally teared up over it and he wasn’t one to do that. At this point he was in his 70’s.
Why would the French spit on their liberators ? Were they Nazi sympathizers, or were they just brainwashed kids protesting against any kind of soldier ?

Fuck the French.

No idea. Bunch of pussies. You’d have to go to France and ask why they are such pussies.
