Full Version: An AMAZING display of French technology.
OMG....LMAO 
They actully made the weapon to do that ,as it gave them another excuess to retreat ....like ALL French armies before them.
Yupper's, good one,Ci.Ci.
The french really dont need weapons they just drop them an run the other way first sign of trouble.
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;

Current contingent of French forces in Afghanistan;

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.
