Don't laugh, this one is true. Although the French military didn't place as much emphasis on tanks than the Germans did, the French had a very satisfying hardware on ground, and the worst lacks (in hardware) were air.
When ze Germans attacked, all troops weren't stationed in the Maginot line. Actually, there were many mobile troops fighting, and they were fighting quite well where actual battles took place.
However, the superior mobility of the Wehrwacht took our generals completely by surprise, stuck as they were in the trenches strategy.
The main explanation to our constant retreats was not inferior hardware or troops, it was that our generals ordered retreat to make a consolidated position further behind, and they were surprised the Germans followed so quickly. For example, the generals believed tanks could only move at day 
This resulted in the overall feeling that the German army was invincible, and it killed what remained of French morale.

Plus the French did something that no wargame player will
never do (Avalon Hill 1940) they order they troop on the Beligam border to march into Beligam to meet up with the Begigam army. They didnot bring with then they heavy weapons and they left they field forts behind. Those concrete pill box and machine would have slow down the germany. It was call the Dryan Plan.

Next year will be the best time to China to invade Taiwan as America combat strenght is tie up in Iraq. The only way American can stop that invade is to use nuclear weapons and China have ICBM that can hit any city in America with than themonuclear warhead of up to 20 megton. China has enought ICBM to destory every major america cities. Donot believe than Star War bullshit. All of there tests are done under ideal condion, they know than missile is comeing and what direction it is comeing from. Real condion is not knowing when missiles are comeing and at what direction. Plus it can take afew minutes to get than missile ready to fire.

There are other thing you need to know to aim than ABM at a
missile. President Ike turn down one just system as just plain supid and wasted of taxpayer money.Nike Zeus based on the Niked Hercuules air defense system. It would have detonate than 1 to 10 megton Themonuclear warhead over your city at 25 miles hight to destory than income USSR missile warhead, while destorying your own city with the Nike
Zeus warhead. The total cost would have being over 6 trillion dollar(1956) to built nation wide plus you must figure in cost overrun, knick back, bridery into the final cost. It would have end up costing over 18 trillion dollar(1956 dollar).
Trival answer: Auther E. Newman than person that doesnot exist except in Mad magine was make than Field Marchel of the America military. Mad did than story that poke at the famous line TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER. Two alien landed outside one of our military base walk up to guard on duty than said in perfect English TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER. The pfc took then to the copl the copl took them to the sergeant an all way up to the president. There
was people in our government who want to take legal action against MAD to dare pokeing fun at the President, when Ike read the MAD issue he started to laught at hummor it make of the military ranking system that he sign
than presidental order make Auther E. Newman than official Field Marchel of the America military force.
