The Stinger is not an anti-tank weapon.

[Sundog]

nor was any other missile featured in the video.

The Frogs have been making anti-tank weapons for a long,long time.One of the first anti-tank weapons of the US army,the SS-10/11 was French in origin.

If they are used against US armor, do we get to blowup the plant in France?

[Ramius]

But... but...

It worked so well against ~French~ tanks. I just don't understand...

LOL.

Leapin Froggies. LOL

Two frogs with a missle launcher
Lots of talk
Frog 1 pulls trigger
The missile pops out of the launch tube and fails to ignite
Frog 1 and 2 beat feet with much excited language
Really funny, even if they are frogs.

Thanks. Sad in a way (and ashamed of my knee-jerk FRemark) because some of my family are Francophones (it's my wife's other native language), and my personal experiences of France (as a completely obvious American), even including Paris. The French people have been unqualifiedly positive.

I've read things about France I really dislike, and I was just glad that I was a few days home before the Paris riots broke out last fall in locales where I was staying/visiting. (Even when there, my wife had the unpleasant experience of enjoying breakfast in the hotel restaurant when a fully armed SWAT team raced on through..)

But there are some really good French folk out there too, people who are not at all anti-American -- those who are old enough still grateful for the WWII liberation... but they don't make the press.

And they're still there. Not all the French, older generations or newer, are ingrates! Vive le France ( did I write that correctly?), and may we find a long-lasting friendship. (Some of us have not forgotten General Lafayette.)

Maybe the tank comes over to investigate the running French soldiers and maybe the missile will blow up then..........nah

I laughed so hard I nearly fell off the chair and hurt myself.
That was great.

[Red Steel]

Aaaahhhhh...scramble!! Aaaaahhhhhhhhh. LoL!

[Secret Agent Man]

Sac 're Bleu!!!

(you know what I'm sayin')

[Alter Kaker]

It would be even funnier if they weren't Canadians with strong Quebec accents.

[GSlob]

It flies backwards and streaks a long tail of white TP.

[King Prout]

oh, crap!

I agree with your sentiments and I had some great experiences in France. I love their Military Museum adjacent to the Invalides in Paris. My tagline was once..."France kicked Germany's teeth out at Verdun among other places". I adopted that line when anti-French comments became a bit too common and too silly on FR.

[Army Air Corps]

Merde, indeed.

I imagine that the crew for the weapon had to change their pants after that.

[Cindy]

oh my gosh...I'm laughing...

[JSteff]

No we will just pull out of France. It's a quagmire.

[King Prout]

heh... ya think?
I sure would have had to!
