Ok first things first.
Hands up here who's heard of the French Foreign Leigon. Yea the guys with the funny white hats. Outside special forces I challange you to find a more hardarsed, hardened, battle-ready force. They've been in countless conflicts actoss africa and some of the shite they did in Vietnam...utterly insane. Take Dien Bien Phu. The last regiment to give way was the French Foreign Leigon, they ran out of ammo and held off the vietcong for a day and a half, under heavily artillery fire with hand-to-hand weaponary. I've heard countless examples of these guys. One guy's scout tank got hit my a mine in algeria, rest of the screw survived, with a skull fracture and a shattered elbow he managed to fucking walk back to base, took 2 days.

Secondly, move french I've met smell of Gvinchey or Chanel.

Thirdly, I don't get the obsession with French military history. I mean is that the only measure of the greatness of a nation? I mean you know, sod the fact they set up a fantastic secular republic, forget the cultural achievements et al.

Considering the role they played in your civil war I find the whole thing kind of amusing if very silly.

and why are YOU pissed at the french OnxyCougar. Beestie, trust me, it's far worse in South Korea. Most of Europe doesn't like America, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Spain are all places where general sentiment is anti-american.
