Title: French Position
Post by: project86 on February 25, 2003, 07:35:12 AM: In light of the French stating that they would Veto any action
against Iraq that we may propose before the Security Council of the UN, I thought this email from a US Marine serving in Bosnia would put things in perspective.

From a Marine in Bosnia. Note the signature, but read it last.
A funny thing happened to me yesterday at Camp Bondsteel (Bosnia):
A French army officer walked up to me in the PX, and told me he
thought we (Americans) were a bunch of cowboys and were going to provoke a war. He said if such a thing happens, we wouldn\'t be able to count on the support of France.

I told him that it didn\'t surprise me. Since we had come to France\'s rescue in World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and the Cold War, their ingratitude and jealousy was due to surface at some point in the near future anyway. That is why France is a third-rate military power with a socialist economy and a bunch of ******s for soldiers. I additionally told him that America, being a nation of deeds and action, not words, would do whatever it had to do, and France\'s support was only for show anyway. Just like in ALL NATO exercises, the US would shoulder 85% of the burden, as evidenced by the fact that the French officer was shopping in the American PX, and not the other way around.

He began to get belligerent at that point, and I told him if he would like to, I would meet him outside in front of the Burger King and beat his ass in front of the entire multinational Brigade East, thus demonstrating that even the smallest American had more fight in him than the average Frenchman. He called me a barbarian cowboy and walked away in a huff. With friends like these, who needs enemies?

You got that right man!

Even the least of the American soldier is more than any French soldier. Nothing against woman in the military of course…

Tell him to stop calling me a racist. I\'m not. I posted a thread about France\'s war history and he deleted it.

You keep deleting my posts. Here it is again :

I dare you to find the posts I made where I was racist. If posting France\'s war history is racist, you need to grow up. I own you.

********

There. I took it out.
