Yes, I think Millar's own byas shows up, LOL. In fact, the USA and France have been more close, historically, than the USA and Britain. Britain, as a representative of the "old Regime" had been the "traditional" foe for France and Usa, which, through their revoutions, represented the new order: in many an old (and not so old) films British actors earned a good living from playing villains.

There are different approaches than Millar's: Brubaker, for instance (or at least in the issues I have read so far) portrays a Cap who doesn't forget he fought with the French resistance against Hitler. But then Brubaker sticks to the notion that Steve Rogers was a young man who lived while Franklin Delano Roosevelt was president. Millar's Cap seems more like a contemporary of Ronald Reagan.
