Upshot: Apparently, Kennedy was a Francophobe, and probably influenced by France's foreign policy failures and WWII record. De Gaulle was arrogant, proud, and apparently bent on France being a super power player. Not a situation where de Gaulle's lessons late learned would make much impression on a youthful administration riding a wave of successes.
