France is our ally?
The French are carrying a lot of water for us in dealing with muslim terror movements in sub-Saharan Africa. And by and large their forces are very professional and doing a good job.
Oh, very funny - the French military forces have been good friends and very helpful over the years. Spent a lot of time off and on with French officers while I served with UN peacekeepers and I have worked with French artillery units on advanced techniques and technologies for fire support.
Great people to work with and they really know how to have a good time...and they are aggressive and brave fighters.
They would have clobbered those ISIS clowns if the forces on the ground knew how to communicate with them.
Of course not. We flew Mirages in just for fun. Duh.
