You know, the only reason the British left France during 1940 was because the French realised that they were going to lose, and they wanted the British to keep fighting. That's why they had French troops 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.
