I cant see why so Freepers care about this. Sorry.
Thanks for sharing your opinion. But not every FReeper has written off France. And to do so is quite naive in my opinion. France has had problems, but they are hardly our enemy. They recently sent their supercarrier (the only active one in the world outside the US Navy) to help support the War in Afghanistan where they also have troops fighting. Doesn't the US have enough real enemies in the world as it is without you trying to pick fights with our allies?
My USMC son was trained in part by French Foreign Legion troops in the Horn of Africa.
Many of our guys go there.
