The French Naval Commando Force was formed in Great Britain during World War Two by the Free French and took part in the Normandy Invasion (as depicted in the movie The Longest Day). The unit, nicknamed the Green Berets, currently has 500 members and is considered by many in the Special Operations field to be one of the best waterborne special forces units operating out of mainland Europe.

I'm sure that they are very good, but we here at Free Republic can not resist a hanging curveball or a chance to dis the French.
