In the many great battles of history, a general who showed moral courage was Marshall Davout in the Battle of Auerstadt in 1806, when he with his III Corps stood up to the brunt of the Austrian attack.
Let us recall the battle of Ratisbon where Marshall Jean Lannes himself had to pick up a ladder and move to scale an enemy fortress as the first two batches he sent had been mowed down by enemy fire and people were no longer willing to volunteer.

 Jomini's Concluding Remarks on Orders of Battle
This uncertainty results either from circumstances prior to the battle, from ignorance of the enemy's position and plans, or from the fact that a portion of the army may be still expected to arrive on the field.
An order of battle would be perfect which united the double advantages of the fire of the arms and of the moral effect produced by an onset.
In this important crisis of battles, theory becomes an uncertain guide; for it is then unequal to the emergency, and can never compare in value with a natural talent for war, nor ice a sufficient substitute for that intuitive coup-d'oeil imparted by experience in battles to a general of tried bravery and coolness.

The french were not that of a great counter to the germans, as the germans wasted most of their forces on attacking england in the battle of britain and then wasted the rest in Russia with lack of heating and oil.
There was indeed a Second Battle of the Marne, which was the occasion of the great Allied counter offensive, commencing July 18th 1918, which was principally a French action, although the Americans did lend significant and effective support.
The French have won plenty of wars and battles, almost too many to even bother with (which is why your friend probably didn't bother), and undoubtedly France has had one of the greatest military histories of all time.

 CALVIN AT RATISBON
He was doubtless hoping always for the final victory of Jesus Christ, the theme of his song of triumph; but the conferences which he had already attended, the prolixities, the questions of mere form which arose, the direction which the Reformation seemed to be taking, all this disquieted and offended him.
When he replies to a discourse of a nephew and legate of the pope—of the pope himself—it is only the Romish hierarchy that he attacks; and the more he finds the Germans disposed to give way, the more he feels it be his duty to speak clearly, decisively, and courageously.
At Ratisbon he also bore favorable testimony to Charles V. ‘It is no fault of the emperor,’ said he, ‘that some good beginning of agreement was not arrived at, without waiting for the pope, or the cardinals, or any of their following.’ His estimate of the electors was still more favorable.

In the ensuing battle the allied Prussian, English, and Hanoverian troops won a decisive victory, which resulted in the withdrawal of the French beyond the Rhine and Main rivers.
The Battle of LIEGNITZ, like those of Rossbach and Leuthen earlier, shows FREDERICK the Great's skill in defeating a superior force by using his highly mobile army in a concentrated attack, keeping the enemy as much in the dark about his intentions as possible.
The success of both armies changed frequently during battle, due to the various reinforcements they received, and at nightfall neither of them had won a decisive victory; but the French losses exceeded those of the Russians, who had lost more than a third of their men.
