I'd like to thank the French and Russians for their part in the military campaign in Southwest Asia

[Dari]

By training the Iraqi Army to such a high degree of professionalism, who knows what would've happened otherwise. Glad to see the same military style fought by the Russians in Chechnya was used in the desert. Not to be outdone, the generals and commanders finely executed their French-trained surrenders at the most opportune time. However, unlike previous surrenders, the French invented a new style by telling the commanders to abandon post while the fighting was going on. They slipped away like thieves in the night to live another day. The glory of France is alive and strong. Edouard Daladier must be so proud.

That reminds me of a joke.

Question: How many French troops does it take to defend France in a time of war?

Answer: Two, one to wave the white flag and the second to sign the articles of surrender.

 

[HappyPuppy]

That's actually kind of funny.

Why are all the streets in Paris lined with trees?

Cause Germans like to march in the shade

I guess no one here has never heard of the great Napoleon?

he wasn't French, he was corsican

see the first rule of French warfare, they win when they are being led by someone who isn't French

Napoleon was pwned by Wellington.

What dialect would americans have if the French had not helped them gain their independence?
No one knows, 'cause it didn't happen.

We did a much better job of training Bin Laden. You should be proud.

And the French almost started learning German as a primary language TWICE in the last century. Considering that the U.S. wasn't in existence when the French helped us, I'd say he did fairly well with that massive handicap. Considering that France was supposedly one of the "Great Powers" when the Germans ran roughshod over them, it seems they have little excuse.

Best military formation in France? Foreign Legion. Makes sense, doesn't it?

Five surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients to operate on.

The first surgeon says, "I like to see accountants on my operating
table, because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered,"

The second responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians. Everything
inside them is color-coded,"

The third surgeon says, "No, I really think librarians are the best;
everything inside them is in alphabetical order."

The fourth surgeon chimes in: "You know, I like construction workers.
They always understand when you have a few parts left over at the
end and when the job takes longer than you said it would."

But the fifth surgeon, Dr. Morris Fishbein, shuts them all up when
he observes: "The French are the easiest to operate on. There's no
guts, no heart, no balls and no spine. Plus the head and ass are
interchangeable."

very sloppy. you need to have only 3 surgeons so you don't bore people longer than necessary.

Hehe, I'm not much trying to defend France or so, but you have to admit sitting half a world away makes it easier to enter the fray when you wish?
Also, I didn't get that second sentence. Why was it a massive handicap to not officially be self-ruled, when the spirit of revolution and independance lived in every to-be american? Meaning, did it make a practical difference?

I think that the only reason why we got into both world wars was because of the british. They're our brothers in more ways than one. If they are threatened, then we fight. The french just happened to pick up scraps of goodwill we threw towards our bretherns. I'm sure they feel the same way about us.
