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.
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.
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.)
Those troops are NOT French. They are Canadian.
