You're acting like every others countries are angels

Not at all. I identified a particular historical event where the French failed badly. Identifying one country's specific mistakes doesn't imply that others are angels. For example, obviously no one would claim that Germany and Japan were "angels" during WW2, but that goes without saying, right?

In fact, I responded to another commenter who called them out for racism and arrogance because that is far too general a claim with no evidence.
