re: #494 Maximu§

Ive heard some good things about French Soldiers serving. Just because their leadership sucks, doesn’t mean their cowards.

I developed a bad attitude towards the French a long time ago:

1) Back in ‘86 when Reagan sent the -111’s to Ghaddafi’s house the French refused overflight - extending the flight time and fatigue for the crews considerably
2) Shortly thereafter they imposed a visa restriction on travel to France. You could travel anywhere else with a US Military ID Card and a DD whatever the hell the leave form was….but not to France
3) They pulled out of NATO in ‘66 or so? Didn’t pull their weight cause they were being defended by the geographical accident of us and the Germans being between them and the Soviets…….
4) They gave Khomeini a home…….
5) They shit on us after liberating them twice
