What's the difference between a pommie and a Qantas jet?
The Qantas jet stops whining when it arrives at Sydney airport.
(Very old joke)

You know nothing about the french or what it's like to travel there and suffer their prejudices and arrogance.
It's a bit like the Aborigines that have to suffer your Australian arrogance and prejudice.
As for your comment about French military prowess.........What The F........???? Hilarious!

Obviously my memory of being taught European history is better than yours.

What is it with this tiny European island nation anyway? It is OK for them to insult the French, Germans or any nation that they fancy calling names but say anything remotely derogatory about them and they go all weak at the knees, the stiff upper lip becomes a loose flabby chin, they go all defensive and close to tears. They dish it out but can't take it.
Sad really.
BTW just for your information I grew up only about 40 km from France I suspect that is bloody sight closer than you are now.

Perhaps it's just the politicians?
When we drove from Calais to Provence some years ago, I remember finding a place in the countryside for us to stay to break our journey.
I attempted my schoolboy French (though I remember very little): "Avez vous un place de securite pour notre bicyclettes?"
After that they (and we) spoke in English. I think it's just a matter of making a little effort.
