Google French military training. Google the French Foreign Legion. If you know military training, it compares favorably to anything we produce here state side. Those are professional soldiers. Well trained. Well led. Well equipped. Scientific. They invented esprit de corp. They are a meritocracy.
You can disagree with national policy all you want. But the French military is first rate. The Germans still talk about French artillery coordination in the first WW.
Final question. Who won WWI? The Hun? NO.
So as you say, US military praise for the French is not unheard.
Oh and the Union Civil war uniform was copied from the French. The Zouave uniforms were French. The tactics of the Day were French. Union officers could speak French. I could go on and on.

Around 600,000 dead in the Civil War. Hmm, about the number lost in the battle of Passchendale.
NO cheers, unfortunately.

*** FRENCH POLITICS AND CULTURE PING LIST *** FREEPMAIL ME IF YOU WANT TO JOIN ***
Thanks for the Ping to SunkenCiv and ArmyAirCorps.
Sarko seems to be ramping up his efforts on the culture front as well as the economic front.
We wish him well in a very hostile environment

The sad thing about France is that I have an old friend who is ex SF and he said Some of those French special forces guys he knew were total bad ass.

General Foch’s IX Army was severely mauled, leading to his legendary message to Joffre that “My centre is giving ground; my right retiring; situation excellent; I am attacking.”

The one President who had the guts is vilified routinely around here.I try to hold my fire. But there are bitter memories about the embrace of the bailout and sanctioning of illegal immigration that embitters.

You know the world has gone to hell when even the French declare war on Al Qaeda but the POTUS bans the use of the phrase WOT and Islamo terrorist.You'd think Obama wants the terrorists to win. And you would be right.
