You know, the only reason the British left France during 1940 was because the French realised they were going to lose, and they wanted the British to keep independent. That's why they had French troops to guard Dunkirk while the British were escaping. We weren't abandoning the French, because we both knew that staying in France would only prolong the inevitible.
