Given a bit of time and the right leadership... I'd say yes.
Simmons work is awesome.
Oh, ansel12.

“Their revolution for one,”
No. The French of today are largely sheep. You can’t site something from 200 years ago as proof of a people’s guts today.
“and Bezeirs for another, “Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius - Kill them all for the Lord knoweth them that are His”,”
Just one problem - there’s no contemporary proof that was ever said. The population of Beziers (please note correct spelling - although I have no accent mark) would have been wiped out by ANY European army in 1209 since that was standard practice for city populations which resisted seiges. Also, if you have to go back to 1209 to find French guts then you have no case at all.
“...and they are not known for the sweetness of their methods.”
Yeah, actually they are. Don’t forget the most respected French soldiers of today aren’t even French. That tells you something right there.
English patriot Tommy Robinson, was released from a British jail, but he should have never been in there in the first place.
Sounds like their elites treat them the way our Tea Party is treated. Solidarity!
I didn’t mention their guts, I mentioned their willingness to slaughter during their past.
As far as the French soldiers, my personal experience with them was different than yours, I’m not even sure that you even know which French military units are the most respected among those who know.

Past. Neither we nor the French live in the Past, ansel12. We all live NOW.
“As far as the French soldiers, my personal experience with them was different than yours, I’m not even sure that you even know which French military units are the most respected among those who know.”
What I do know is that you have no idea of what you’re talking about.
I don’t get what your agenda is, or what is making you so angry and hostile.
Post 10 “I thought that the willingness to slaughter was one of the bad things about the French.” is accurate, and of course it means the past and not right now.
The weirdest of all is for you to be so intent on creating a fight out of post 10, that now you deny my own knowledge of my own military experience in France, while with the French Army during the times when I was training with French Special Forces.
You are evidently seeking to create a personal fight, and post 10 just doesn’t seem to give you much to work with, so you are pressing pretty hard to get something going.
Charles Martel:
Charles Martel (or, in modern English, Charles the Hammer) (23 August 686 – 22 October 741)
He is best remembered for winning the Battle of Tours in 732, which has traditionally been characterized as an action saving Europe from the Umayyad expansionism that had conquered Iberia. “There were no further Umayyad invasions of Frankish territory, and Charles’s victory has often been regarded as decisive for world history, since it preserved western Europe from Muslim conquest and Islamization.” [1]
Though primarily remembered simply as the leader of the Christian army that prevailed at Tours, Charles Martel was a truly giant figure of the Middle Ages. A brilliant general in an age generally bereft of the same, he is considered the forefather of western heavy cavalry, chivalry, founder of the Carolingian Empire, (which was named after him), and a catalyst for the feudal system that would see Europe through the Middle Ages.

My agenda is truth and I am neither angry nor hostile. Are you drunk?
“Post 10 “I thought that the willingness to slaughter was one of the bad things about the French.” is accurate, and of course it means the past and not right now.”
That’s irrelevant since we are talking about now and the near future not 800 years ago.
“The weirdest of all is for you to be so intent on creating a fight out of post 10,”
I’m not intent on creating a fight. I am merely asked you “When?” in 11. And, as I expected, you showed the same sort of sciolism as you so often do.
“...that now you deny my own knowledge of my own military experience in France,”
No. I just don’t put any stock in it.
“...while with the French Army during the times when I was training with French Special Forces.”
Again, I put no stock in your experiences.
“You are evidently seeking to create a personal fight, and post 10 just doesn’t seem to give you much to work with, so you are pressing pretty hard to get something going.”
Nope. All I do is comment on what you post. If that bothers you, you can always stop posting. It doesn’t matter to me either way.
Amazing, evidently you have something cooking in there that means a lot to you, but it sure doesn’t interest me.
I don’t know, you still keep posting so if you think it is important to me it must be more important to you to keep posting while whining about posting.
Bridget bardot had the courage to try to fight the takeover of France by the muzzies years ago and was fined and jailed for her efforts.
Let’s not be too critical of the French. Do we even have a resistance movement to the islamization of the USA?
Oh I forgot, we have a 1st Amendment that allows even Satan to put in his dime’s worth, so why should we not allow the muzzies to do the same?
“Our generation are the victims of the May ‘68’ers who wanted to liberate themselves from tradition, from knowledge and authority in education.
But they only accomplished to liberate themselves from their responsibilities.”
I agree with this 100%
But I also agree with the poster here who said, what will they take as their model?
But let’s also remember this, the Christian church did a log of killing on its own (their own?) back in the day.
Kumbaya ain’t gonna cut it going forward.
“But let’s also remember this, the Christian church did a log of killing on its own (their own?) back in the day.”
No, it did not.
I guess that over the last fifty years or so the French have been so obsessed with invasion by American culture banging on the front door that they neglected the islamic one sneaking through the open windows.
Worry not—a new Charles Martel will emerge. French cities will become slippery with blood. Think the French can’t do it? Ask any old Jew and they will tell you something different. This time it will be Jews, Christians, Gays and others united to expel the Islamic peoples. The cities will glow with burning mosques!
