A whopping 20 retired French generals and 80 other ex-officers published a letter last month calling for military rule in the country if President Emmanuel Macron does not halt society's "disintegration caused by Islamists."
In response, Macron threatened to punish generals who signed the open letter that warned the country is heading for "civil war" because of radical Islam.
The new text was published late on May 9th by Valeurs Actuelles, although the numbers and ranks of its original signatories remain unknown.
The authors of the letter describe themselves as part of a younger generation of soldiers who have served in Afghanistan, Mali, and the Central African Republic, or joined domestic anti-terrorism operations.

Meh. It will happen, the French asked for it, welcomed it. When the islamists an overwhelming advantage, the war will be on. The resolution is not in doubt. France is lost. Say hello to Francistan.
Meanwhile Twiggy and the Le Pen family are persona non grata in France.
They’ll be easy to spot. Plenty of collateral damage like Dresden.
Kind of irony, the least capable armed service in the West stand up first to defend their country against radical Islam
Do it. Tennis Court Oath on steroids.
This the plan in many countries. Infiltrate and destroy from within.
By definition, that is not a civil war
As long as the French have the Legion, they are not that incapable.
Like us, their military is hamstrung by their government.
The US and Israeli military are hamstrung by themselves. They’ve been infected with Wokevid.
220K is enough to occupy all key government buildings and important infrastructure. If one nation's patriots move to eradicate the globalists, their whole edifice will collapse.
The Legion aren’t allowed to deploy in France, AFAIK.

And, as you say, it is ironic that it would be the French who are saying things out loud that Americans would be punished for.
“...the least capable armed service in the West...”
IDK, is that correct? The German military is spectacularly incapable. And by some measures, the British military is weaker than the French. Although one could argue it either way.
And then you have to ask ‘capable of what?’ Defending a nation’s borders requires a different mix of capabilities than being able to intervene in far away places.
The Legion is based in France near Marseille since France gave up Algeria. They can’t deploy in France except in the event of a Foreign Invasion (they fought in France during the Franco-Prussian War) - wanna bet that is just the excuse someone is ready to use?
Someone needs to issue a fatwa against all Islamofascists.
This old SMSgt salutes the French Generals.
Wish ours were as patriotic.
