glacierdog Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2002 16:12:36 EST\ From a Marine in Bosnia. Note the signature A funny thing happened to me yesterday at Camp Bondsteel (Bosnia): A French army officer walked up to me in the PX, and told me he thought we (Americans) were a bunch of cowboys and were going to provoke a war. He said if such a thing happens, we wouldn't be able to count on the support of France. I told him that it didn't surprise me. Since we had come to France's rescue in World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and the Cold War, their ingratitude and jealousy was due to surface at some point in the near future anyway. That is why France is a third-rate military power with a socialist economy and a bunch of faggots for soldiers. I additionally told him that America, being a nation of deeds and action, not words, would do whatever it had to do, and France's support was only for show anyway. Just like in ALL NATO exercises, the US would shoulder 85% of the burden, as evidenced by the fact that the French officer was shopping in the American PX, and not the other way around. He began to get belligerent at that point, and I told him if he would like to, I would meet him outside in front of the Burger King and beat his ass in front of the entire Multi-National Brigade East, thus demonstrating that even the smallest American had more fight in him than the average Frenchman. He called me a barbarian cowboy and walked away in a huff. With friends like these, who needs enemies? Mary Beth Johnson LtCol, USMC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairweather Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Great post! Who would ever have thought.....The French and Germans as allies! Thank goodness they don't represent all of Europe. Sounds like the Spanish, Italians, and all of the ex-Soviet Eastern European republics are with us. I heard today that Denmark is with us. I will make it a point to avoid purchasing any French or German-made products until they get their shit together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Nonsense, shitbrick. Anyway, obviously none of you clicked on Snoboy's link, or you'd know that that little turd of military bravado, like so much of the too-cute-to-be-true swill that drips from every crack in the interhole, is a hoax, a fake, a sham, a boondoggle. www.snopes.com !

glen Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Pull your head out of your ass DFA. The SOL came from France. My point was that playing the "how many times do we have to save their ass" game is stupid far from being the issue. It also gets at the distinction between nationalism ("flag waving morons) and patriotism. Patriotism is doing what you believe what is good for your country. Nationalism is blindly following the flag. If you are going to start blindly accusing people, make sure you are aware of what you are accusing.

Luna Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 It came from Europe. Right. Some Rush listner banging away at the keyboards in his Mom's basement. The better question is why is our military spread from here to breakfast all over the world. Gettin' kinda like the Roman Empire, spread too thin, monster military budget, laughing stock of the world, and fat people with SUVs running the government.

GregW it's ok. He'll either decide he can't argue that and send insults or lie saying he was trolling and you fell for it if he can't find anything to argue about. It's easy to see filth like him belong in another country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt.Caveman Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Speak with a low vocabulary and carry a big stick (GW) It's really obvious you just dont like bush or the republican party. But that doesnt mean the rest of the us is a fucked up place to claim you are gonna wipe with an american flag (showing contempt for everything in the country some might say). I believe if you dont like the us you can leave any time you want. Dont let the door hit you in the ass on your way out too. I recommend some cool un american places like Libya for instance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
