That seems silly.

Don't know that you mean it, hope not.

How many American troops were attacked by French guerillas during and after the liberation of France in WWII?

None that are documented.

How many American troops were attacked by French guerillas during WWI.

None that are documented.

My point, and it seemed simple, was that Americans have a short memory - the US was founded partly on "terrorism" and supported by the French.

Taking that point and stretching it to the limit you did doesn't really do you credit. I think you're able to do better, really.
