I like how it ignores the fact that the US Revolution was won for one reason alone, the French.

They didn't ignore it... they just had a different take.

Okay, you've got to give the French Navy some credit for their role at the Port of Yorktown (?) in The Revolution, 220+ years ago, in the age of wooden boats, and round cannon balls, and soldiers wearing funny hats...

But just like in sports, the question I have for the Frenchies is "what have you done for me lately?"

We surrender,

France.
