What's a piker?

You should have good reasons to be mates with the French - far from having had centuries of war with them, then half a century of war FOR them, they're the ones that got you your indep. from us!

Further still, your early army uniforms were practically the same as theirs.

And, like them, you don't speak English too well :-)

I can't see what the US might have *against* the French.
