The French remind me of the Italian crew of that stricked cruise ship. They look good when all is well. But the moment the **** hits the fan, the only fight they win, is the one to the life boats.
Sierra Leonese fighters are the most gallant and courageous warrior poets in the business. Sources - Me Askers rating - ***** watched a programme before about FFL might have been that **** bear grylls im not sure but 40 guys started it and only 3 finished, it looked like torture.
Not exactly true Bib, for a period of 200 years from 1700- 1900 (approx) the British Army (mostly the Highland Divisions and the Guards) were the best trained fighting Units in the world.
France Major War Record Played: 168 Won: 109 Lost: 49 Drawn: 10 "The French - they're business is war, and they do their business" Rudyard Kipling Currently, France's military spending is still third highest in the world.
Yes - only the Russians lost more in WWI which brutally hampered the French from then on. 1.3m military fatalities 4.6m military wounded. The first battle to turn the tide of WWI in the favour of the Allies was the French-fought Battle of the Aisne. Without the French army returning to fight after losing hoardes in the first Battle of the Aisne, the Allies wouldn't have won. They suffered badly in WWII as the bloodiest war in history had only just been fought in their own back garden. No-one ever used to call the French cowardly - it stems from their refusal to fight in Vietnam (which was a former colony of theirs and they fought umpteen wars in that part of the world previously)
Lets not forget that the Germans of WWII brought a devastating and totally new type of warfare to Europe at the onset of the war, no country stood up to them. The British were quickly in full retreat to the beaches of Dunkirk. The only thing that threw the war in favour of the Allies was the onset of Russian winter and the Russians having an endless supply of infantry coupled with the commisar's total disregard for losses of life, the steady stream of cannon fodder slowed the Germans to where their tactics were no longer effective. If anything, WWII showed us the real yellowbellies were the Italians
Wouldn't want an Irishman, Italian or Frenchmen. Know a lad in the Bundeswehr and he is hard as **** so I actually wouldn't mind a Kraut, either that or a Gurkha.
They more just go into operations full tilt and to hell with collateral because who is going to remonstrate them for it afterwards Because of this, if MOSSAD want you you are in big trouble
It's more for the fact that an Irishman would hate me rather the other way round. Don't think you lads are too found of uniform.
My uncle is in the Forces. I've nothing against individual members, just those who have and would commit unmerited acts of aggression against people like me through no other reason than a preprogrammed dislike for the Irish. Judging by your posts you would appear to be one
