Just saw the clip from your post 35.
Surprised that the French didn't surrender.
A few of their guys looked ready to.

You can't beat a woman who knows how to shoot.

LOL, you have to wait until she puts the gun down at any rate... ;-)

Hoo, boy! She puts the gun down, smiles, moves towards you...then you know you're really in trouble! Time to plant it in the saddle and light a shuck, cowboy!

Thank you for your views on the subject Mr. Ambassador. I'm sure you'll find your new posting in Auckland to be a challenging one.

Have fun, and watch out for the sheep; one of them may file a paternity suit against you.

There might be a couple of Kiwis among the troops of the French Foreign Legion. Like the Germans, the Swiss and even the Belgians, [who are des tireurs au Cul] the English-speaking Johnnies, who may have some Kiwi-flavoured accents among their number, will save France from its external enemies. But they can't save France from itself.

The story goes that the Army actually prefers larger Fijians for their rugby team, and I don't doubt for a second that they're at least the equal of the Gurkhas as individuals; see the accounts of Sergeant Labalaba at Mirbat for just one example; IMHO he should have gotten the VC for what he did. And the Gurkhas do indeed consider picking fights with their Fijian counterparts to be great sport, as they do engaging in little affrays and sporting tiffs with those of the SAS Regiment. The Gurkhas have some peculiar ideas about recreation, but they're certainly game and sporting about it.

But you can see a transcript of some of the Parliamentary discussion on the subject on the subject *here*.

Heard a joke about the French Foreign Legion basically being outsiders who would defend France because France is incapable of it.
*chuckle*

Wonder if they'll take over France to save France?
It'd be an interesting development.
A group of warriors in control of France..
That'd be horrific to them.

You're right though.
It'll never happen, they wouldn't be able to save France from itself.
