The idea that Frances imperial subjects were fighting for the republic in the world wars is absurd. Brenus was trying to conflate the integration of Today's muslims with French muslims fighting in the world wars. He even took a shot at the USA, but the fact of the matter is, one has nothing to do with the other.
Millions of people trying to integrate into your society is not the same as soldiers from the empire or a few upper class minorities you can trot out and claim how well the republic is doing.
