Lest we not forget (and I know I'm playing the devil's advocate here folks)...

"France officially entered the American Revolutionary War in 1778 and soon sent troops, ships and military equipment to fight alongside the American Patriot army against the British for the remainder of the war. French military involvement in the war proved decisive, though disastrous for the French economy. France's standing army at the time is estimated to have been some 100,000 strong."

So, what have we learned here?...
A) They helped make America, America. We owed them something.
B) We paid them back (...over and over again...)
C) I believe they're STILL using the same ships and military equipment.
