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.

SIX WEEKS

That is how long it took the Germans to take France

When the US allowed the French army to march back into Paris the
French had to scramble to find white faces because most of the "Free
French" army was actually Easy Africans.
It ended up being over half African.

Are there some brave French men? I'm sure there are but as a national
policy, not so much.

From the Wiki

"n February 2012, after an Afghan soldier shot and killed four French
soldiers in eastern Afghanistan, French president Nicolas Sarkozy
threatened to suspend French operations in Afghanistan.[4] The newly
elected president Francois Hollande, announced in June 2012 that he
would be withdrawing 2,000 of France's 3,400 troops in Afghanistan,
leaving 1,400 for training and logistics.[5] In November 2012,
France's combat troops were withdrawn from Afghanistan, leaving just
the logistical contingent in the country. [6]"


Instead of your second-hand whining about the French, perhaps you and
the other military heroes here can tell us about your heroic exploits
under enemy fire.
