How do countries like France support their massivly powerful military?

[DainBramaged]

I mean, they spend so much on health care, how do they have anything left?

Other countries have money besides the US.....



Besides, 1 million white flags do not cost that much now.

They sell frogs legs and snails to the masses.

I was going to say France was in major debt, but that seems to be a universal thing amongst countries these days.

 

[Epic Fail]

By not bathing everyday, they save enough to support the military, really.

how exepensive can it be to run a plant that produces white flags all day??? 🙂

France doesn't have a powerful military. Didn't they get beat by the Ivory Coast a few years back?

 

[TXHokie]

The AP and UPI reported that the French Government announced
after the London bombings that it has raised its terror alert level from Run to
Hide. The only two higher levels in France are Surrender and Collaborate. The
rise in the alert level was precipitated by a recent fire which destroyed
France's white flag factory, effectively disabling their military.

French Ban Fireworks at Euro Disney

(AP), Paris, March 5, 2003
The French Government announced today that it is imposing a
ban on the use of fireworks at Euro Disney. The decision comes the day after a
nightly fireworks display at the park, located just 30 miles outside of Paris,
caused the soldiers at a nearby French Army garrison to surrender to a group of
Czech tourists.

France, massively powerful military? Those two phrases shouldn't even be in the same sentence.

How could you not realize your mistake when you are making fun of France, then type "Swiss" army knives.

Tip - Swiss refers to the country of Switzerland. Swiss is not a region of France.

They could barely contain the rioters in the Paris suburbs, let alone some small African nation.

France and powerful military doesn't correlate nor compute nor understood by anyone. Powerful rioters- yes military- not since Napoleon

Ah, but they can still reliably beat up on Greenpeace, which is why I :heart: them.

They import Mormons and drink their blood.
