Country:  | Well first off the French were never fully invaded in WW1 and they fought to theyre dying breath in that one, during WW2 Im not sure it could be doctored with advanced digital technology, but Im pretty sure that the film footage showed All of Paris shaving theyre armpits for us,
anyway after all the years of stereotypes and being branded a bunch of cowards, they made Dioxine look like a nice treat.

| The French didn't surrender, their government did to prevent the destruction of towns and villages like what happened at the start of the First World War....there was massive killings and rapes by the German Army against French civilians.... | |

Country:  | Yeah ...the French didn't surrender, they just signed an armistice on June 22nd 1940 ...that's all.
They fought, they lost, game over.

| That sounds just like a damn Frenchy! My grandpa had a freind who fought in North Africa to Italy to D-Day and beyond. When they arrived in N.Africa, they attacked a fortifcation that they thought the Germans were guarding. Turns out it was the Vichy French! Just as they started moving in, they shot one of their guys. They opened fire and in 5 seconds, the French raised up their arms and said, "Viva le France!" Bastards....

Country: | The Vichy French were on the side of the Germans, that is why they fought against your grandfathers friend. They did so until they were turned by the Free French.

| I've read somewhere, that XM-8 might be fitted to that 6.8mm cartridge in future. | |

Country: | Would not surprise me since the gun is already so adaptable. It also would not surprise me if the XM-8 gets canceled for this project.

Drop and give me 100! 
I wouldn't be too surprised either if the M468 did in fact beat out the XM-8, since it's based directly on an existing rifle that's much simpler. 
Hmmm, I guess we'll see, eh? | |
