"I'm not going to make fun of their troops. They serve their country as faithfully
as they can. I reserve my scorn for France's political leadership."
Yes. And maybe some of their military leaders.
Anyone doubting the individuals in the French military needs to read "The Guns of August".
Good soldiers, poorly-equiped and poorly-led too much of the time.
Who knows, maybe the French will deliver some payback to the Hezbollah lunatics. The French lost soldiers to the bombs of those thugs too.
