From what I hear, the French soldiers of today are quite good.  And the foreign legion has never said no to a battle.

But funny pics :D.

what would Napoleon say about this? Probably turned in his grave when the Germans beat the sh*it out of the French Army and their Maginot line.

Oh ho ho ho!  That was so funny!  Not.

I couldn't help noticing that the cover of the magazine was written in English, and that the spelling is American - ie grueling instead of gruelling. Do the Americans realise that France has its own language? Or was this created in a moment's idleness by a  monolingual dumb yank...

BTW the French Foreign Legion means just that - it is not open to the French.

Nope..the officer cadre is French.

Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

Tumor - you are a fool, but at least you made my point for me. And that was that the picture was concocted for an audience. :)  Might have been funny if it had been in French, but in English it looks idiotic. Says a lot for the intended audience. :rolleyes:
