Again, why don’t you ask our troops what a “half-assed” effort is, General?
Listen, France has had numerous attacks against its people and a serious Jihadist problem. If all it is going to do is commit the resources from one aircraft carrier then it’s fight is limited.
In Afghanistan the French actually deployed thousands of troops and personel in ground support. They had an incident in 2012 where some french troops were killed which eventually led to the removal of all ground personel. All they have is logistics.
You think they are all in? I guess you are a general.
