Of all the major countries? Probably Italy. Idk why France gets the surrender stereotype when Italy's military history has been more of a joke. From my region? Honduras, easily. They love trying to usurp us as the top dog of Central America and get put in their place every time.
Imagine how Americans would react if America had gone through what France did in WWI and likewise prevailed, only to be the butt of endless surrender jokes
They're all just gonna defect once you tell them they gotta use normal cheese that isn't produced artisanaly in a single province of Sicily by one of 3 dairies approved by decree to produce it since generations past.
I remember watching a break down of different country's military MREs and some of the european ones looked really good. I think the french got little sachets of wine and the italians had real cheese and meat.
WW2 was a pretty brutal defeat and after that they lost several colonial holdings and had the US take over for them in Vietnam, which probably to some extent fuels American superiority complexes, then their refusal to go along with the Iraq invasion sparked a coordinated cultural attack on France in the US, freedom fries, mass wine spillings, etc etc.

Yeah I mean France was pretty much the strongest army in all of Europe for like 1,000 years.
Lingua Franca is a term for a reason I guess
Lingua Franca was based on northern Italian languages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean_Lingua_Franca
Well shit, shows what I know lol
Sorry for the ackshually, let's still be comrades
Oh yeah no worries! Thanks for the info
It's because of their decision to not participate in the Iraq War. The joke existed beforehand, but it got massively amplified by that.
i cooka da pizza
because americans get their knowledge of history from cartoons, and everything yankees say is projection

Say what you want, but I'd gladly have Italians in my army.

More specifically, in the field kitchens. :AyyyyyOC:
