So when people say "I'm boycotting Fench companies", realize that you aren't boycotting the French, you are boycotting your fellow Americans.
I forgot to add that my company is paying all reservists called to active duty for the war, full wages and benefits for the duration of their duty. But, we are listed on the French Boycott list 6 times.

Yep, I agree. I hadn't seen any lists so I didn't know anything about that. I always laugh when I see the French and Germans boycotting "American companies", when they're not American at all.
For the most part, boycotts are silly.
