   This gr0uop hastye thing is a necessary thingfor weaker leaders to maintain   
   cohesion in a nation: focusing the population on a common enemy/goal.   
      
   Quite necessary in any nation with a standing army.   
      
   It's been pointed out that a standing army exists only to fight wars, & if   
   denied that, they wither(morale-wise, i.e. esprit de corps)) & turn against   
   their own leaders & country.   
      
   From Rome t il today. . . & nobody learns because the government focuses   
   everyone's attention on the enemies du jour(ofd the day)   
      
   You must be aware that without the French, there'd be no USA?   
      
   Ben Franklin  knew how powerful the French military was, & sought an alliance   
   that would provide the revolutionaries top of the line arms (the machine gun of   
   the day -- essentially an auto-loading Daisy, & the caissons of song)   
      
   I was technically born in France (within their borders, but n a Canadian air   
   force bases hospital, so I was Canadian from birth, but if I'd been dumb enough   
   to be in France from age 17-21, I'd've been drafted for their army--the only   
   thing worse than a standing army is one that uses a draft)
