One paragraph:

Those comments really get on my nerves. And they?re flat out wrong. I
served with a few Legionnaires and a lot of regular French troops.
Whatever the French public?s or government?s politics are, their
soldiers are brave, well-trained, in fantastic shape and aggressive.
Describing those men as cowards is an absolutely unfair
characterization.


I'm really glad you found someone who worked with a few French soldiers that he liked. Gosh, he even
had his picture on a French magazine. Wow!
