Ohhhhh........ sorry, but it's killjoy time
Well my bestest chums- First as the clip-title says- French-CANADIANS.... not French. They are Canadians - with distinct Quebecois accent - I believe from the 'Vandoos' unit. It's an old clip too- likely a training vid not in Afghanistan. Note uniform colours. French troops are stationed in Kabul area in Afghanistan; recent French casualties-not while running away; http://www.guardian.co.uk/afghanistan/stor...2174208,00.html Current contingent of French forces in Afghanistan; http://www.lefigaro.fr/english/20070430.WW...bul_region.html In the eyes of some, French troops on the front in harms way or not still get mocked. I still wonder why people equate the French govt decision not to go to war in Iraq, with French soldiers themselves being cowards? Me wonders if HF will be dared into a challenge to show otherwise.......Naturally I'd start of with Lafayette and Yorktown.... or the Normans at Hastings  HF blah blah time----->  French-Canadian military units have no reputation of running away from fights - from the War of 1812 onwards they were mixed with their English speaking counterparts in the Colonial-then- the Canadian army. They were involved savage no-quarter given fighting in Normandy Campaign which was the norm in the Canadian sector as they faced off against ruthless SS units. Their fighting efficiency borders on fearsome. http://www.warmuseum.ca/cwm/chrono/1774canada_saved_e.html http://ww1cemeteries.com/ww1frenchcemeteries/lachaudiere.htm http://overlordtour.com/en/ww2/3dCID-Tour.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~qcmtl-w/RollofHonour.htm This post has been edited by Hellfighter: 11/13/07 5:38pm --------------------   |
