wait the french have an army? i thought they surrendered already lulz.
We need German and Japanese soldiers from WW2 in Iraq.
I've always liked Sarkozy, but admittedly, he is a bit too corporate on certain things.
Whatever the case, we need all the help we can get, so the more the merrier.

Good. I've always wanted to seethe French Foreign Legion in action. Not an Insult i heard they can kick some ass.
Yeah, I always think it's funny that people seem to forget that Napoleon was French and at one point dominated most of Europe.CameronPoe wrote:

Hey I got a load of French rifles to trade. Never fired, only dropped once!!
Serious note, about time France starts pulling some weight outside Africa.

There's a reason 'Courage' includes the French word for 'Heart'.
There's no training like combat.CameronPoe wrote:
tbh NATO would have to stay in Afghanistan indefinitely to prevent the place from descending into the darkest recesses of hell again and tbh I don't know why they're wasting their money. It is and always has been the stinky armpit of Asia. I think western governments could find more constructive things to spend their money on.

I have always wondered why the french seem to be held in so low regard in the US. I mean, they contributed heavily to your war of independence. The statue of liberty, one of the great american landmarks, was a present from france. They have the foreign legion, and quite a well established military history.
Yet - as indicated by the comments here - most Americans seem to think that the french are cowards. How do you figure ?

because military pride is important for.... ? <---- add argument here, for example: the economy, the environment, integration, feeding the poor, health care, etc....You know, the important stuff.Mek-Izzle wrote:

Strictly speaking, yes. However, if you get combat training while also helping a rebuilding country get back on its feet, is it still morally deplorable?CameronPoe wrote:

That depends on how effective the 'rebuilding' is and whether or not the people of the country want you in their country. The results of a free and fair referendum of Afghans on the presence of foreign troops in their land would be a good indicator of how moral the whole enterprise is.FEOS wrote:

(Although I don't really know if it was officially French back then )
Yeah it seems strange to me that Americans hate France so much, especially since they helped America gain independence from England, AND they gave you guys the Statue of Liberty.
EDIT:
Corsica is a beautiful place. Go there if you can. I love it there. (Except for the damn "independence fighters" who want to break away from France, lulz.)

Fair enough, but in a sense there already has been. The Afghan people elected the government that keeps requesting the Coalition to stay.CameronPoe wrote:
