Well, you're a better man (or women) than me. I say "Actions have consequences", and France is paying for their actions with predictable consequences.
On a further note, I'd resign from the military before I'd take one step towards deploying to help these insufferable idiots. My grandfather helped saved France, my Dad tried to help save Vietnam (a French debacle from the start), I will have no part in the effort to "save" France if it ever came to it. They are too proud and stupid to ask for our help any way. I pity the innocents, but they elected the fools who got them to this point.
We could build it in our image?
