I was so shocked to read the expression "surrender monkey" in a quality news magazine like Newsweek. Do you realize how insulting it is ? I cannot understand how it is possible to find such an expression in a reference media. I have been living in the US for 2 years now and I am sick and tired to hear in the media about a battle which happened 69 years ago and is used to support judgments about an entire people and to mislead people about an unjustified war. While relations between France and the US are improving, I really hope this expression to disappear.
