France helped us in the Revolution not because they were great guys, but because they were old enemies with Britain (as was seemingly everyone else back then including Spain and the Dutch)and were pissed off about territories they had lost in the Americas during the Seven Years War. In addition, Lafayette wanted revenge against the British for the death of his father. There wasn't some grand higher purpose that should cause us as Americans to feel endebted to them forever. Even if there was, that debt was more than repaid with American blood at Normandy. Learn some history.
