The slow emasculation of western civilization proceeds apace.

That's a dangerous cliche. I wouldn't say that to the Foreign Legionaires!

[pfflier]

Well they’re French so..........

Yes, I had to check the date on the article to see if it was from 1940.

[Lisbon1940]

Not my circus.

[Semper Vigilantis]

Those who ignore/erase history are bound to repeat it. Maybe not Sieg Heil, but definitely not good.

I came across a gun shop in Nice about 10 years ago.

It was sad. I wish I had taken pictures.

The Foreign Legionnaires weren’t French. They were foreign mercenaries, hence the name.

After all those rerun 1940s headlines from the Russian Front, now we’re getting them from the German Occupation of France.

One of my favorite books was "legionnaire" by Simon Murray about his 5 years as a paratrooper in the foreign Legion in the 60’s. Very tough outfit,superb training, I would put them in the top tier of fighting units.

Wow! It really is that easy to start the process of exterminating a group of people.

[jpsb]

You should read up on Dunkirk.

Yes, well their master Macron got very upset when a French man shot and killed someone who broke into his house and was attacking his daughter. He said nobody was allowed to defend themselves. I think it would be a pity if someone held down Macron and forced him to watch as someone he loves was attacked. If it’s good for the peasants, it’s good for you, right Macron?

In particular the Germans had better military doctrine. They integrated the new tanks, use of radios, and use of air support in military operations to complement infantry and artillery to create what we call today combined arms. This was Blitzkreig.

The French leadership was still stuck in the 19th Century / WWI. They didn’t have a Guderian or even a Liddell-Hart. Interestingly, the French had some excellent tanks that were superior to what the Germans deployed in 1940 against them. But superior German doctrine, organization and leadership overcame that material disadvantage.

Yes, but this guy looks like a hired mercenary from a foreign land, not a born-and-bred Frenchman raised on croissants and Proust.

... Exactly, and how many AK - 47s from the mideast earners were turned in?
That’s been one explosive growth segment of ownership.

Fools

[Bon of Babble]

I’m sure the large Muslim population in France surrendered their guns and bombs, right?

[unixfox]

Give it a few years and France will look like Philadelphia and New York.

Sheep....

One of my favorite films on the French Foreign Legion is March or Die starring Gene Hackman and Catherine Deneuve. Includes a long scene where the Legionaires make a desperate stand against desert fighters swarming their fort.
