And here we have the first casualties of the French Military since Napoleon.

Several million Germans from World War I would be to differ.

It was a joke. Rumor has it, no enemy combatant has ever seen the front of a French military uniform.

Million? Highly doubtful. Probably more died from ambushes by the French Resistance than from the French Army, which did not exist from mid 1040 until near the end of WWII.
