Maybe, I haven't met the stereotypical arrogant French either. All of the French people I've talked to until now were very polite.

But I wouldn't judge an entire population based on the few encounters I've had in any case. The way I see it there are pleasant and unpleasant people to be found in every country.

Do you mean American-French or French-French?
French people have a dominating way of talking, which mostly makes them arrogant. And they have a hard time to show they where wrong. But they are fine and friendly people.

Lmao, ever reliable Wikipedia. Even if it is true the actions of one unit do not speak for the whole army.

The Abu Grahib thing was some sick individuals who have been punished and imprisoned under our court system. It could have happened to every army, no army has a screening process to figure out if 5 years down the line they're going to do something like that. They were caught, arrested, dishonourable discharged, and imprisoned.

Of course not. You told me to prove it, so I did. The same applies to the earlier mentioned British marines.

Its a well documented case...the videos of it are on youtube. The fact that it happened doesn't make Abu Grahib any better, but it just goes to show that its something that will happen in war. I for one, no matter how much I don't like it, have learned to in a way, accept it as inevitable. War brings out the best and the worst in people. You should hate it, it should be punished, the people involved are not exactly good people. But it is inevitable.

Human nature is a horrible thing. Its something that many systems have tried to surpress, to counter, due to our own personal hatred of that which drives us. But every time, it rears its ugly head once more. To me, the world would probably get along much better if we learned to accept our own nature, and try to work with it, rather then trying to repress it, which causes it simply to come out in worse ways.

Lies! Wikipedia is only as reliable as the people who write it and the people employed at Wikipedia, who decide what goes and what does not.
