Unlike the French Army, The French Foreign Legion are ruthless bad-ass MoFo’s... No, they will kill everything and anything that moves that is designated as a target.

The last numbers I saw was a 10:1 kill ratio... I’ll pass on messing with the FFL.

We're talking about the Foreign Legion here... a whole different ballgame.

Look, the French government can be annoying, but the “surrender” jokes are both ill-informed, and old and tiresome after a while.

I suggest you read “The Price of Glory: Verdun 1916” by Sir Alistair Howe and then see if you feel like mocking French troops. They spent 10 months successfully defending one city in the most horrific conditions imaginable, suffering over 500,000 casualties.

Also the last Pew Poll found that France was very high on the list of countries that most liked the United States and Americans, which confirms what I’ve heard from a lot of people, that the US is very popular with average Frenchmen once you get outside of Paris.

You won’t see that happen.
