Dont be offended Padisha.Its not your fault that your army is shite.Your legionaires or troupes de marines are only based in countries armed with oranges or lemons.They should try going to countries where there is a chance they will have to earn their pay.

I think his posts should be directed to the humour section soon as he clicks the send button

blablabla

The French Army has many famous and capable fighting forces within its structure, not least the Troupes de Marine and the Légion Étrangère.

a kalashnikov Ak47 is not an orange...

a sukkhoi is not a lemon.....


Sorry if i react like that, but I know the worth of france Army, and i don't like when people say stupidities about it.
French army is Europe #1, even the english navy is now behind the french navy.

For you, in UAS, it can be a little army, but Europe's countries send less money in military than USA...And know that the number doesn't make the victory...

If your tanks and fighters were the best in Europe (we'll never know cos there still in there wrappers) there is still a frenchman inside them.

USA and Germany also thought that france army was one of the mighty at this time. And it was. But as I 'd arleady say, the HQ sucked. Hilter was the first surprised when he won. But the french soldiers were excellent, look at the free french forces acts and you'll see. Look at the actions of the french forces in norway, at the beginning of the war, with the british troops.

And don't believe that the soldiers surrender without fights....

Look at the quality of ships like the Richelieu and the Georges Leygues, of planes like the Dewoitine, of tanks like the B1-bis....

All of this means nothing without the moral clarity to use it properly.

Padisha i understand you being patriotic.But face facts.Your armed forces are not very good.They have not proved themselves at all in the twentieth century.In fact if you stopped shouting about them , everyone else would wonder if you even had an army

 

[Annie]

Here's some facts. Seems to me that UK and FR are too close to the same level in too many areas. I'll skip US military, that's just a joke. However something PE might want to look at, US people info. Note the differences in ages and birth rates. Notice the population spread. Note the religious spread.

Tell me we should fear your country! :blah2:

ole Zappo's quite the upstart aint he? I mean, who the fuck is he to tell Tony Blair what to do with his embassies/seats?

 

[padisha emperor]

Your armed forces are not very good.They have not proved themselves at all in the twentieth century.In fact if you stopped shouting about them , everyone else would wonder if you even had an army

WWI : I think french army proved it valor, it worth. (Is it the UK ir france's army who stop the german advance at la Marne ? at Verdun ? the French, isn't it ?)

WWII : of course, not very glorious, but look at Koufra against the Italians, at Bir hakeim against Rommel's army, at the Italy campaign, at the south of France campaign....

Indochina war : defeat, but you can't say that the French were not good here, even - above all - at Dien Bien Phu. The qulaity of the french soldiers make that they resist during several month in a hell : they were into a hole, around it : more than 100,000 Viets Minh, with heavy guns, they were mximum 15,000 - the french - and they resist, and at the end, no white flag.
And the french army won a lot of battles in Indochina.

Suez 56 : perfect military victory
Algeria : good using of Aviation, paratroopers and Legion.


Peace Ops - Africa, Balkans : good job


You say that the french army sucks, but you have no prooves, except your ideas about it because you think at may 1940, when the 2nd wolrd power fall.

It was 65 years ago, guys....

 

[Annie]

PE you forgot the Ivory Coast, you really kicked butt there!

 

[padisha emperor]

What do you exactly mean ?

The fact that tThe death of 9 french soldiers is funny, or the destruction of the ennemy's air force ?

 

[padisha emperor]

And please, don't bash the french about Ivory Coast :
it is realy far better than the hell put by the US marines in Iraq, and France had the UN accord, we didn't break the international laws...


So, be careful with the jokes about the french in I-C, because you are the worst placed for this kind of joke.

Of course you didn't! My, my, touchy, touchy. It's only wrong for the US to act unilateraly, not the French. Gee, golly, no! Hypocritical I believe is the word.
