The phrase refused to fight is very hard on the 150,000 French members of the regular forces and the 20,000 members of the Resistance who lost their lives fighting the Germans. That said, France's political leadership was poor, but please bear in mind that from 1934 onwards France was deeply divided and this weakened the country. (Compare with Spain, where the Fascists plunged the country into civil war and, with foreign help, overthrew the elected government by force).
