this came to mind:
I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
and this:
Go and boil your bottoms, you sons of silly persons!

I usually feel the constant insulting of the French is immature and stupid .........

THAT however was freaking hilarious!

I was actually thinking this was going to be a real showing of some useful weapon but I have to admit I was thinking "why would the French actually need weapons they are too cowardly to ever get involved in an actual war unless they are posturing to surrender".

what? desc of video was:
As advanced as the US stinger or hellfire

Those things are 20yrs OLD!

altho at first i thought they were going to miss the tank by a mile.

then after the video went 1/2 way with them just scratching their asses, i thought of Wyle E. Coyote and his Acme weapons.

Not to mention that neither of those are man portable anti-tank weapons. The stinger is an anti-aircraft missile, and the hellfire is launched by helicopters.

You need a :cookie: for finding that video!

Cliffs:
1) French are about to test fire
2) Shoulder fired missile starts to launch
3) Rocket falls on the ground!
4) All the French run away!!!

That's standard French operation proceudure. It's on page 3 of their field manual.
