It's one thing to say the French government and people owe America and Britain (and Canada, and Australia, and all the other allied contingent of the second Great War) for liberating them but it's entirely another to expect an entire nation to do something completely against their beliefs.

If the French truly don't believe in war then why on this Earth should they be expect, nay demanded, to commit to it?

War is a terrible and horrible thing and no matter what the cause, design or reason it is not a sin to protest against it.

I feel that I owe my freedom to all of the allied nations who fought in the war but if an American knocked on my door tomorrow and asked me to do something that I did not believe in there's no way I would feel an obligation to do it just because his nation helped mine 60 years ago.

I'm very sadenned that I will have to bring up my first child in war-time.
