Sarah: Perhaps this will give you some perspective.
It's not a matter of the French having lost military credibility; with the exception of Vauban (a defensive expert, not offensive) and Napoleon (actually a Corsican, who used primarily non-French troops in almost all of his campaigns), the French have never been militarily proficient. Most of their actual victories beyond these two examples were fought by the Normans, who are ethnically and culturally different.
