Ungrateful Bastard: Difference between revisions

* Similar to the Canadian example above: in the buildup to the Iraq War, France was accused by the United States of betrayal and cowardice for not agreeing to send troops to aid in the war effort. This accusation flew in the face of over 200 years of strong relations between the two nations, from the American Revolution to the fact that France had sent troops as part of the coalition effort in Afghanistan less than 2 years prior.

** YMMV on that one. Many Americans have long considered the French to be the [[Ungrateful Bastard]]s, since France has long been one of the most anti-American countries in the Western world, despite the fact that America rescued France in both [[World War One]] and [[World War Two]], and helped rebuild France after the second, ''and'' defended France from the Soviet Union during the [[Cold War]].
