The French have a long way to go to prove that they can fight and fight well.
The only modern military legacy they have is Napoleon and Marshall Petain at Verdun in WWI.
We must give the frogs credit though, they are showing more balls and leadership than the Eunuch in the White House over the last 7 years...

The same French military that pulled out after the Beirut bombings?
Look, there are elements of the French defense that are very good. The Foreign Legion, their intelligence. But France's "military" has not instilled much confidence recently. In the Gulf War they were given a ceremonial flanking role. They didn't participate in Iraq. And honestly, I don't know what they've done of note in Afghanistan, if anything. A few air strikes do not constitute military superiority over anyone. I will be the first to congratulate them, though, when they win some big victories.

The French have been fighting the mahamits for over 1500 years. Charles the Hammer (Charles Martel) saved Europe form the invading Barbarians. The Crusades also pushed them back.

The French need to go back to being like the French in “The Day of the Jackal”, with the telephone-generator inquisition ...
that might get some results ...

If Hollande had any gonads, he would fire-bomb the muslim ghettos encircling Paris. He doesn't.
He's only talking tough to keep himself from the gallows.
