Were Saracens flying planes into buildings in America in 1917? We paid rivers of blood for France’s freedom, TWICE!! They can tough it out.

There is no reason for either us or the French to still be in that nation.

I would have to agree but to hear the French crying about 78 combat deaths is a little...unmanly.

I believe the complaint is more about how these last were killed, by an Afghan inside the unit.

I bet our SEAL team was set up as well.

Can't trust these people, we need to go.

Unfortunately, too often the idea of a ‘good French offense’ was “let’s charge the German machine guns until we’re all dead”

I was all for ending Afganistan as a terrorist truck-stop. But trying to turn 7th. barbarians into schoolboys isn’t going to work. However in the broader sense what we are fighting here is Islam. Not ‘’radical Islam’’, there is no such thing. It’s all radical. It’s a murderous throwback to a long distant and dark time in human history totally out of place in the modern world and we’ll be it fighting forever.

The assholes who post comments like the ones above have clearly never served yet beat their chest in arrogance when talking about the strength of our nation while having contributed 0 to it. They’re trash, no need to bother with them.
