Cheap shot! :lol:
You guys are funny....we are deployed all over to support our allies and Afghanistan is a good example....we added 200 SOF (maybe wearing that fluffy stuff) to take over the Southern border from the US and doing a very good job according to all accounts...we added Haiti and just moved to help Sudan while Powells and the UN debate the word "genocide".
The French gov did not agree to go to war in Irak because the salads sold at this time by the US were not convincing...the US congress just conceeded that by the way.
Short term memory helping, now it is all about a safer world without Saddam. We did not buy it then and don't like to be manipulated. French forces in Irak won't happen....that's all. The US administration screwed up on that one...but for the rest, when looking at the size of the French army and its budget, we are not doing bad at all! http://www.ambafrance-au.org/defence/pages/armed_forces_numbers.en.htm
Our specialty is to help small colonies in troubles....you know...America against the Brits! :lol:
Anybody want to contribute on the weird/funny uniform topic?
