There was the little matter of France 'pulling chocks' early in WWII.
And De Gaulle saying 'p1ss off' in the 1960s.
But other than that......

McCain doesn't like the USAF and/or Boeing due to some stupidity and corruption in the last few years. He'd be fine with the Airbus, er, NG/Eads win.
Obama, from Illinios, where Boeing is headquartered and wanting the union vote, will support a Boeing win.
Meanwhile, the KC-135 soldiers on and on and on.....

And to give the French credit, it was their money and their fleet outside Yorktown (situation greatly simplified for brevity's sake) that made the American Revolution a win for our side.
Seems our win had a big influence on them 'outing' Louis a few years later. Sorry about that....
