Thanks, Cubbies10. At least you're over the fact we kicked your country's butts 230 years ago!

Talking about the Marquis de Lafayette?

Him and Comte de Rochambeau, De grasse, De Galvez, John Zoutman. Seemed to have worked for the best.:p

Just out of interest, as a University History student i had no idea how many foreign troops there actually were on the US side, 15,000 French, 8,000 Spanish and thats just regular army, we only had 12,000 regular army troops ourselves.

It's strange how two countrys who fought a war a couple of hundred years ago became the closest foreign allies.

Well, when we had to bail you guys out in WWII, loyalties change.
