Had Dreyfus lived a few years longer he would have seen his beloved France defeated once more by the Germans. Given the way they treated him I'm tempted to say that France DESERVED both military defeat

Considering that he was eventually exonerated and promoted to General your comment is stupid and of subhuman quality.
