Bashing the French is very popular here in the U.S. But I, for one, would like to thank you for your commitment, and mourn your soldiers who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

More and more troops

For international security France should gear on, sen more troops until the situation stabilizes. Thanks a million times to US for taking the responsibitlity of protecting the world.

Need to send more troops

France can send a lot more troops to fight. You obviously agree with the mission since you are sending troops already, so send the full amount. Only then can we call you a courageous country.

your efforts are pathetic :) my French friends

britons have over as twice forces there and even poor Poland sent 2/3 of yours. shame on you. yeah, I know you do not care of your allies (see 1939 casus), but international security is your issue too.
