All this French bashing combined with UN bashing. How original ...........
Actually, even if it is white, it is not out of place in any way.
A white flag doesnt signify surrender, it signifies a lack of hostile intent and a desire to negotiate or treat with the enemy/combatants, that doesnt allways involve surrender, though it undoubtably at times will.
Under accepted international rules of war, a person, group or vehicle(s) displaying a white flag may not fire their weapons, or be fired upon, to do so is a warcrime.
I would venture a guess that more than once or twice throughout the USA's history, her servicemen of one branch or another, have walked on a battlefield, under a white flag, with absolutely no intent of surrender, perhaps to gather wounded or something similar.
Not like a person in Gunslinger's line of work wouldnt know that though.
