Not for the French...

I don't know how much truth (if any) is contained in this letter, but it
makes a good story anyway.


AN INTERESTING LETTER HOME FROM AN ARMY SGT


Dear Dad,

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 for provoking a war in Iraq. 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.

I also told him that is why France is a third-rate military power with a
socialist economy and a bunch of faggots for soldiers. I further advised
him that America, being a nation of deeds and action, not words, would
do whatever it had to do, and that any support from France was only for
show anyway.Like in all NATO or UN exercises, the US would shoulder
85% of the total burden,as evidenced by the fact that this French
officer was shopping in an American operated 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 PX and whip his ass in
front of the entire Multi-National Brigade East, thus demonstrating that
even the smallest Americans had more fight in them than an average
Frenchman.

He called me a barbarian cowboy and walked away in a huff. With friends
like the French, who needs enemies?

Tell Mom I love her.

Your daughter, Mary Beth Johnson, Staff Sergeant, U.S. Army

:lol: :lol:

P.S. I thought the Americans and the French would have been firm friends. You both got your arses kicked in South East Asia. :cool:

"I was just thinking about this cartoon I once saw. A bunch of tiny fish are swimming through the leaves of a plant, but then one of the fish realizes, it's not a plant, it's the tentacles of a predator, and the fish says, 'With friends like this, who needs anemones?'"

I don't know how much truth (if any) is contained in this letter,

That's easy , none!

l thought the bit about saving their ass in Vietnam was particularly funny. As BB said, you got your ass kicked by a bunch of rice farmers.

[cpt_azad]

ya, when I first learned about the Vietnam War I was like LMFAO, that's so not true. But later on I realized how badly you guys got wooped :(

[Yogi]

I know of a saying:

France is a beautiful country, pity the french live there. :lol:

[/runs for cover from guillaume :ph34r: ]


And now i just read in the paper of today, that despite the fact the french

allways complain (la grogne) and whine(with wine.....), they get older and

keep growing in numbers............ :sick:

Life-expectation for the average frenchman in 2004: 83,3 years..... :ohmy:

(a rise of 10 months over the last two years......... :schnauz: )

Only Japan scores better........ :wacko:

It also says the french have a relatively low number of people with obesitas,

partly due to the fact they adapt less to the American Way of SuperSize Me

than other westeuropean countries........


They must be doing something right........... :blink:



Yo d'or

[manker]

I thought racist jokes were only allowed in the Funny Stuff (sic) section.

[Yogi]

The french are a race???? :blink:

[Guillaume]

Meh.

You know, I've always wondered why you had it so bad that a third-rate, despicable, faggot-peopled country refused to follow you in your foolish war in Iraq.

Despite what you think, know that we actually don't hate Americans. We are actually grateful for what happened when your country decided to join "the fun" in WWII. But hey, since you don't seem to know anything about history, I can't blame you.

I can't speak for all the French but I do not hate anyone, I just pity stupide people.
Now, you (try to) guess how I think of you.




BTW, Camp Bondsteel is situated in Kosovo, not Bosnia. So now I realise that you don't know anything about geography too.
Now, next time you want shit smeared all over someone else's country, ask an intelligent American (like J2k4) to do it, because he's so much better at it. Damn, he even cuts and pastes better than you.

[manker]

Well said, mate.

[Yogi]

Meh.

Wow, Guillaume, a lot of words talking to a deaf person..... :blink:

Spoiled anger....

(something like me getting mad at BM for calling me an idiot........... :lol: )

Amen to that.

[manker]

Miss the irony there, azad :bandwagon:

[Biggles]

This is one of those "conversations that I wish had happened" things that do the rounds. As such the details change (nationalities, location etc.,) hence the errors in the actuality.

Occasionally amusing, they tend to only serve to tickle the fancy of the prejudice that is being served. :naughty:

[Guillaume]

BTW, Azad, one wonders why you have a totenkopf emblem, and the name of a bosnian SS unit as a user title. :huh:


edit: or is it the first historical roddage? :unsure:

[cpt_azad]

@Guillaume:

I'm studying the SS in school (well not now cuz it's spring break) and I find it fascinating how Hitler built an Elite group of soldiers and they could've been so easily manipulated. As for the reason I have it up? It'll be up until we finish our research on the Schutzstaffel, which should be by April 3rd. I put it up purely out of fascination, and no, I'm not a nazi nor would I make a good one because I'm not white to start with.

[Skiz]

Okay, this is the first time I've had an opportunity to view this thread since posting it last night. First I want to say, Guillaume, fuck off. This was a copy and paste from an email. J2K copies and pastes better than me???????? WTF does that mean???? That's like saying he turns on a light-switch better than me too. You either turn it on or don't, you copy/paste or you don't. I would wouldn't quite say there are certain skill levels involved. This letter does not represent all of my political views ffs.

As to the validity of the "letter", I claim none, never did. I refer you to my opening statement in the thread.

"I don't know how much truth (if any) is contained in this letter, but it makes a good story anyway.".

As to my knowledge of the geographic location, etc. IT WAS AN EMAIL! Get over it bro, It's uneccessary to to do fact checking for a comical-email. The Frenchman in question also refered to the female SGT as cowboy too. I don't see you picking that apart....

Sheesh, I'm done, this isnt worth a second more of my time.

[Snee]

Meh, crappy letter.

The bloke who wrote it sounds like a cawk.

[Guillaume]

So the fact that it is an e-mail excuses everything?
Yeah, so I should not see the fallacies it reports, forget the insults too because they are comical?

Let's see if I can find an e-mail saying all Texans are brainless arsewipes who got their asses handed to them by the Mexicans at the Alamo and then we'll see how you react.

When I do that you'll probably be correcting my errors, and call me a prejudiced f*ck.
And you'll be right.

I just exercised my right to do that.

[Yogi]

Have a smoke, Guillaume............ :schnauz:

I believe Guillaume has just delivered some "le ownage" :lol:

Fancy some quality Scottish whiskey with that cigar? :drunk:

[hobbes]

That first post was utter fabrication with all of the fine little zingers thrown in. The piece de resistance (to borrow a phrase) was the final revelation that the soldier was a girl.

Anybody that read that and didn't see it for the propaganda was got hooked by the author. That was written strictly and obvious to draw emotion from the readers it intended to offend.

Looks like it worked.

Let's think a little people. I guess being American I'm used to these artifically contructed little packets of propaganda.

I laugh them off and feel sorry for the people who are buying that crap.

This article is for like minded people to sit around and spank off too.

So the one about the US aircraft carrier and the lighthouse is fake :crying:

Don't ya just want that to be real.....sooo bad! :lol: :lol:



funny as fuck!

LMFAO, that lighthouse one is hilarious. I wish it were true :rolleyes:

Yup , I gotta say it, Guillaume just owned an American :lol:

That is stupid. It is much more cost effective just to lease one.

Simply classic. :P

I was looking for just the right words to say...something eloquent.
I Couldn't of put it better.

Thank you SnnY. :)

Peace bd

I wanna be a lighthouse.......... :w00t:

I didn't understand yesterday, and I don't get today how someone'd try to pass off that letter as being written by a girl. It sounds as male as it can get.

Something about that way the bloke (ie she) writes, the style doesn't sound female at all to me, somehow.


Maybe it's some kind of predjudice, tho'. :blink:

I also told him that is why France is a third-rate military power with a
socialist economy and a bunch of faggots for soldiers[/I]
