That oughta do it, Ray. Thanks very much.Why don't the French deploy some ground troops into Libya and show us how good their Military really is.

For a nation who hasn't won a battle in almost 100 years, that's going to take a lot of work and time and success.
I mean they've had nothing to brag about since Napoleon.
And who're they at war with and beating right now? Libya? Once again, the US has already moved the furniture. Now they can arrange the doilies and the paintings.
Then you have lots of foreign soldiers fighting for their US papers, this is what the French Foreign Legion is for France (a chance for foreigners to get the French identity)
Why would anyone want to become a "frog"???
Wrong: it was a brilliant new German general's military strategy, not some soldier "thing".Blitzkrieg was a German soldier's thing.
Napoleon isn't taught in French schoolbooks for 20 years.
Geschichtsmythen: Eine deutsche Ausstellung demaskiert Napoleon I. - Nachrichten Kultur - Geschichte - WELT ONLINE
He was a brutal Dictator and the last mass-grave has been dug-out in Latvia, where 35.000 of own Soldiers, some still wearing uniforms, were simply thrown into a hole.
can you link to that please, because I am having a hard time swallowing that, they buried them fast back then and he never lost that many in any single battle, the only one close was Leipzig...and well, Leipzig is not Latvia.
and dude, dictator? not quite, in fact his opponents were the ones propping up the Ancien Régime.
Among the most impressive exhibits include photos of a mass grave that was discovered in 2001 near Vilnius. To 6,000 square feet were the bones of 35,000 young men, Napoleon had burned in the Baltic winter 1812/13. One was still wearing the uniform of cap, with which it had thrown him into the pit.

Anyone else smelling wounded Gaulic pride here?
Because... umm... they never surrendered? A trifling point, you see, but rather important. Wouldn't you agree?Anyone else smelling wounded Gaulic pride here?
All I'm smelling is anglophillic mythology about how bad the Frogs are.
Tell me, when was the last time ENGALND didn't have to get its ass bailed out by the USA?
Yet nobody talks about crumpet eating surrender limies, do they?
Gee, why not?

Bruni is Italian.
Apart from that, every nation has good looking and not so good looking women.

You implied, that Hitler's military success in WW2 was not achievable without foreign soldiers.
Blitzkrieg and burden of the battles were a German soldier's thing. Hans and Fritz.

It's about a new art exhibition with contributions from France and Germany.
The exhibition contains photos of mass-grave excavations in Latvia and insight into France's relation/perception with Napoleon (he isn't taught there for 20 years in schoolbooks).

He was a "Dictator" to those in Europe that had supported the French revolution.
Hummmm, no I don't thinks thats quite correct, I think he was a dictator in the eyes of those he conquered whom were attempting hold up an order that they saw crumbling. Now one can argue that nap. wasn't every bit a king/tsar/emperor as was Alexander a Tsar and Joesph the Hapsburg Emperor......its a distinction in some cases without a difference except when applied to the long view in that a nationalism aside from hereditary feudal underpinnings was awakened.
Anyway, this thread is irrelevant: What we really need is a thread about, "Turkey Regaining Military Pride."
I miss the Ottoman Empire, and Harems of Oriental Wimmin
me too! The 'Sublime Porte'....

Wel they ve got:
- incredibly good food
- good looking women
(this is the french first lady, to give an example. Unless you re gay off course, then you have to ask it to someone more suited for that subject than me.)
- one of the most beatiful countries to live in
- have a very good healthcare system
- people don't have as much much less problems with obesity then in the US, because the food is much much more healthy.
That said, when there are upsides you also have to take the downsides:
- they fuck up good English/American movies by letting a french voice actor speak over them
- they do not have as much good rock music as in the US
- planning strikes is like a hobby for frenchmen who like to revolt against the state regularly
- you have to handle American dicks who think your people are surrender monkeys (the same americans who your ancestors fought to liberate and died for during the process, but yeah you only hear them whining about WWII and how good they really were back then ...), or maybe that s a plus side if you re a French Legionair? (so you can kick their ass when you meet them in person)
- and most important: you have to speak french, I have to admit that it can also have its benifits (a lot of women like men who speak french to them).
You re misinformed: Poland, Luxembourg, Denmark, the Netherlands and Belgium fell quicker.
The reason for the French defeat was the huge toll of WWI. Some of the biggest warbattles in history took place during WWI.
Did you know that the same French military engineering is the reason for the US anthem to exist? (not only the anthem btw: France in the American Revolutionary War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )

Major countries. Try reading comprehension. When were :..Poland, Luxembourg, Denmark, the Netherlands and Belgium considered major countries?
You got owned dude.
And the French were..and are pretty kickass...in terms of a fight. One of the best militaries in history.
It's beautiful for a tank.The French sure are proud of that new battle tank they have.
