As usual, the French cowards are jealous of a real military. After all, the aircraft carrier, Charles DeGaulle dropped one of its props when first launched. No wonder they can't market their sh!tty cars anywhere other than on their home turf.

IIRC we already have 4 on station in the Gulf. This one would make 5

Actually, I think it just cracked; the ship had to be towed back to port. Typical of French engineering. Talk about an "irrelevent" class/nationality!!!

When a carrier comes into port, the sailors spend a lot of money ashore. We're talking about 2 million dollars for a short stop over. Since they protest, I'd say stop visiting French ports. Let them spend their money where it's welcome.

The betting is five, based on the Quadrennial Defense Review.

Charles DeGaulle dropped one of its props when first launched. Actually, the French have a military term for this.
It's called a pre-deployment surrender.

"Typical of French engineering." In Heaven, the French are the Chefs and the Germans the Engineers.
In Hell, The French are the Engineers and the English are the chefs.
