Great read and insight on how our troops in the "Stan" are seen by their French counterparts.

Ligion Entrrongere. "March Or Die". They have been great US military allies.

Je travaille pour une tres grande entreprise francaise. Je crois qu en general ils ont un style de management tres solide et tres agressifs, ils sont bons hommes d'affaires et je les aime beaucoup. J'ai un tres bon ami qui est un colonel de l'armee française, il est aussi un bon agent que tout celui que je connais et a passe la majeure partie de sa carriere dans le Middle-East ou en Afrique. Vive l'Armee francaise!

BTW- Je suis "showing off"! :wink:

I didn't think that was too bad for not having done ANY French in...oh...well, since I was a child in the UK and we studied French.

But I was able to "parse" the above about 70%...I guess the Rosetta Stone review is working!

If anyone ever told me following this forum would require me to brush up on my french I would have said they were crazy. I did get most of that... however:

Latin and Spanish helped a little so I got about 1/3. :smile:

Sorry my original spelling was way off but the thought remains.

Not really fair because I've served with and taught the Armee D Terre but now a part of American Lexicon...
