No thats what is known as a lesson learned.
France too have learned their lesson of course. They generally try and avoid all wars* unless the enemy are armed with nothing more dangerous than soft fruit but if they have to go somewhere dodgy they send the FFL (those Brits, Germans and East Europeans I mentioned earlier).
* Well avoid fighting but they love selling weapons, especially to regimes others in the security council are less than impressed with. Hence the hissy fit when said other security council member states decide they want to remove a good customer of France.
