Fish Toys Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 A friend of mine emailed me this. A marine in Bosnia Ya gotta love those Marines! Note the signature, but read it last. 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 *** in front of the entire Multinational 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 Lt.Col, USMC DON'T YOU JUST LOVE A REAL AMERICAN WOMAN!!!!

icehousebob Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Why do the French plant trees along the sides of their roads? Because German soldiers like to march in the shade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
