War in France: Why?
Mister Brightside
I have wondered what's the purpose of freeing Switzerland by attacking its occupants: France. I mean, when France came to our aid in the American Revolutio, did it attack England. Of course not, they were not willing to send the bulk of their troops to attack the military giant at the time. So instead, they provided us with a much needed navy to counter the British Royal Navy. In the end, it more came down to the fact that we knew the geography of the area and the inefficiency of transporting troops from England, accross the Atlantic Ocean, and into the American Colonies.
So, instead of help funding a resistance war in switzerland to give them their independence, we are attacking France and creating a massive calamity of who gets what. Their is no question that we could beat France, for our numbers surpass any nation and certainly make a quick route. But like I said, this makes everything a political mess; since this invasion is also being joined by our Atlantis Allies, they might want portions of France, and even Switzerland. There is no possible way to determine who gets what, and since we will some bullcrap that we inspired the people for this invasion, so we should receive the bulk of France will only further degrade our reputation.
Lastly, I want to close with a good joke by the infamous comedian Lewis Black about Dick Cheney shooting his friend in a hunting trip. He said he found the bird, and shouted, "Bird, Bird, Bird, and turned the gun on his friend". This is like this situation (somewhat), "Switzerland, Switzerland, FRANCE!"

History lesson 101!!!
The French did not come to the aid in the Revolution until year 7 of the conflict!
Before that they did what they always did, Raiding British ships!
As for the assistance? They gave little money and few arms, individual Frenchmen like Lafayette were the biggest assistance. They helped for their own cause not ours! The French thought they could control the budding country and grow from our sweat...
DO NOT THINK THEY WANTED THE USA FREE!!!
I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his-chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, letting me go
And I just can't look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr Brightside
I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head

Now, he takes off her dress
Now, letting me go

"when France came to our aid in the American Revolutio" This is not Real Life. It seems it is hard for some people to realize that simple fact.
they came to our aid not to help us, but to weaken england, i understand that
@sukoidha: its my fav song by far
We need to go back to calling French Fries "Freedom Fries"
I must of been dreaming this whole time, I thought this was eRepublik.
enough with the racism
"There is no possible way to determine who gets what"
Yes there is, it's pretty simple, actually. Just coordinate your attacks
What the American Revolution? As far as I know, America has always exsited ever since the dawn of time, 380 something days ago, more probably.
@Dubi: When that happened it was the stupidest thing I had ever heard of. Why would you want to do something like that when it just makes us all sound like idiots?
woot woot, i love the killers ( in a manly way ) 😉
Less real life, more eRep.
