The French army was pretty stout in the beginning of WWI based on what I've read. My understanding is that things would have gone a lot differently if the French had not been a fairly exceptional force... but I could be wrong, it's been a long time since I've read anything about that war.

Ignorance revealed, some of the vodka brands aren't even Russian. Might as well refuse to eat cereal and potatoes, since vodka is made from those.

I'm not military, but I like to read history when I can and it's my understanding that's a common problem.
