@JeanMarieFr France attacked Germany on multiple occasions during the 17th and 18th Century. From Richelieu, to Louis XIV to Napoleon France consistently invaded, subjugated, and ultimately destroyed the Holy Roman Empire. As for Napoleon, he chose to invade Spain, he chose to invade Russia, Austria was a consistent push over, and aside from an easily defeated hide bound Prussian Army, Germany and Italy WERE minuscule principalities. France was the warmonger of the Age of Enlightenment.
@gaspphil that was back when your country actually had balls to stand up for what you believe in. now a days the french are socialist pussys who complain when their retirement age gets pushed back 2 years when it's obvious they can't afford to not do so. they also cant fight for shit and are assholes to americans even though we liberated you assholes from germany twice. There is a reason france is the butt end of all surrendering jokes in the world.
@slapshot445 Actually you came to our aid once and you participated in our liberation once.
The surrendering jokes are mainly anglo-american and the reason for that is that you don't know shit about history. Tell me where the french have surrendered without putting up a hell of a fight first? Dien-Bien-Phu?
Sedan? Dunkerque? Waterloo? Plaines d'Abraham? As for the rest of the rubbish about retirement age and french not knowing how to fight shows that except writing in english you know nothing!
Cant fight for shit ? France has fought bloody wars for most of its existence which it has mostly won.
USA is in a much safer geostrategical place than France, which was surrounded by imperialist hungry nations like England, Germany, etc...
The reason France is the butt of surrendering joke is just VERY RECENT propaganda by some ignorant neoconservative in the US. (which make republicans look bad when I respect them enormously)
@R1DIKAL Wars France has Lost- War of Spanish Succession 1714, Seven Years War/French-Indian War 1763, Haiti 1793, Napoleonic wars 1815, Mexican Intervention 1867, Franco-Prussian War 1871, World War II 1940, Indochina 1954, Suez Canal 1956, Algeria 1962.
French Victories- American Revolution 1783, Crimean War 1856, Second War of Italian Independence 1859, Second French colonial empire, World War I. Frances military record in the 19th and 20th century is spotty at best.
I am orgnaising a Tattoo in Australia in May 2011 and would love to have a French Militray Band play (Foreign Legion or French Military) Anyone out there know of a contact?????
La légion c'est la Marine ??????? mon dieu, si la légion et la Marine t'endendaient.... . L'histoire coloniale française a été construite par les TDM (Troupes De Marine) et la Légion étrangère. C'est pour ça qu'il y a des similitudes d'uniformes entre ces deux formations.
troupes de marine = composante de l'armée de terre aussi, plus rien à voir avec les bateaux (il fut un temps par contre, tu peux voir sur wikipedia par exemple). Les TDM sont en fait ce qu'on appelait avant les troupes coloniales, destinées à êtres embarquées puis débarquées, et dépendaient du ministère de la marine (comme les colonies). Maintenant: dépendent de l'armée de terre depuis au moins la fin de la guerre.
The song is "no toku here", it is a polynesian song. The infanterie de marine has its roots in the infanterie coloniale, wich was also in Tahiti (with the 5th RMP of the foreign legion). They brought back many traditions and songs from there.
Greetings from the USA. You French have a great history and much to be proud of. And I agree that the arguing between the USA and France is stupid. Our countries have been allies since the USA was created. We've both helped the other when we were needed.
Sir I agree with. iive in the US and served with the guys on the video. The RIMa are bad asses, like the US Marines. Sad to see how politicians in both Countries push their agenda by smearing the other. In my opinion, in the World today, a France, GB, and US coalition is crucial. I'm no Sarko fan, by the way. The question is: what are the Chinese up to? Somewhere, somehow, they pull some strings. Kings of capitalism already, owning the US debt, acting like a silent but deadly fart.

En cuanto al Catalan sus 10 millones de hablantes no son tantos como los del castellano pero superan de plano a los del Noruego Letón Esloveno Islandés i Maltés juntos
De donde sacas lo de vascos catalanistas i teorias racistas?
El espanol es una de las idiomas mas hablados en el mundo, mas que el frances, pero el frances es mas internacional porque esta en todos los continentes. el ingles es mejor solo si nosotros estudiamos solo ingles. hay que resistir. en los anos 1700, el frances estaba la lengua universal y el ingles estaba pequeno. excusame, no soy espanol.
La Catalunya Norte no es parte de la nación francesa, igual que tampoco lo es Occitania, Bretanya, Corsega i Alsacia i Lorena.
El hecho supuesto de que la gente de la Catalunya Nord hoy dia no quisiera ser española u catalana podria entenderse perfectamente si se tienen en cuenta las aberraciones legales lo que han tenido que aguantar por parte del gobierno de paris.
No, no soy Español. Español es un idioma muy internacional, no como el catalan. Jajaja. Pero no me gustan las teorías racistas de los catalanistas y de los vascos.

In France always we learn the truth about the history (not a false propaganda as in the USA or the U.K. for example)
Thus, France can recognize what one owes with a country contrary to you who forget more and more that USA also owe whiht France without which they would not exist (distorts propaganda of Bush and her friends who did not stop lying since they are the power in USA as about Iraq for example)
And only Paris, don't forget that when you learn your propaganda history
whithout us, in the 18th century, our army, our guns, ours uniforms and more important the French Navy (the most most powerful Navy in the 18th century) who beat the brits Navy during your independace war (cose us also we were in war vs brits in this time and for more time than you don't forget that) you would pay homage to an (your) old English queen nowadays...
To finish more optimistic on our relations and like always for more than 200 years, we has disputed but we remains allies ^^ (but independent and not a pets like the U.K. ^^), thus I would say :
If you want to know the truth about History, stop reading your books of school = Propaganda (because they are books of propaganda, i could see some...) and worse to look at and believe "Fox News" the TV of Bush and of its band of liers
hey sir you are talking abot an ancient country helping a new born nation, but after that what, who is helping and suporting the freddom in the western hemisphere, evrybody here knows that you helped us, but we have helped you more, in 1 and 2 war even in a could war we carry on the responsability to defend Europe, Washington stoped Moscow not Paris, read more history and not only your propaganda as u said
Do you know for example that for the important battle of Yorktown, there were twice more French soldiers than American soldiers ??
Of course, you don't know that because your propaganda don't learn to you that (propaganda in the schools, in the movies from Hollywood, in the TV, etc.)
Sad truth of this it occurs to the USA in this moment :-(
What a joke. In the same 230 years we had one, I repeat ONE, civil war. France has been through two monarchies, two empires and five republics. Set your own house in order before you presume to lecture the US.
what about the 1700 years before? oops, sorry, the US did not exist at that time.
BTW, France was confronted during these 230 years to its immediate neighbour: Germany. Imagine if the US had had to deal with a hostile Canada as strong as the US? I don't want to polemize, it is just that comparing the history of the US (an isolationnist country till mid-20th century) and France is a nonsense.
@indhochine I don't want to get polemic either, but Germany didn't exist until after 1871. Opps sorry that IS after the U.S. existed. Usually, it was France who was trying to kick minuscule Germanic principalities asses from Napoleon, to Louis XIV, to the 30 years war. So please if you are going to try to insult your U.S. viewers, at least get your history straight, France was far more the aggressor in world history before the 20th Century than any other state in Europe. Your argument is false.
@dbstarfish I do not want to insult US viewers. I was merely answering a comment I found inaccurate; about Germany, I did not say France was continuously attacked by Germany (or un-unified german states and principalties), but rather that there was a history of violence between two neighbor people, whoever the agressor was.
We were us also at that time in war against the U.K., i point out it, and without the victory of French Navy (the most powerful navy of the world at the 18th century) vs Brits Navy and the helps of the French Army on the ground, the U.K. would not have lost (or not so quickly)
For the WW1 as i show you, France had already done all the work
Because France was and largely the first power of democratics allieds during the WW1 !!
And it's France which paid much more the price (much more than all allieds same UK !!)
When the US army arrived in France in 1917 (wee had in war for more than 3 years already, I point out it) it was equipped and entrained by the French Army for example
Salut au 8e RPIMA (at 0:40), which saw tough action in Afghanistan recently.
I'm amazed to read some of the crass stupid comments about the French who "surrendered to the Germans after only 6 weeks" - always the same cliché (did any country fare better, then? The Brits reembarked after 4 weeks).
And - why not ? - "Napoleon wasn't even French" !!
Would you please open a history book, and shut your mouth?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No, I meant like the French in WWII. Every country has lost in battle, of course. I hold nothing against France for losing some of its battles. My point was that the French surrendered to the Germans after only 6 weeks! The French didn't fire a single shot to defend their precious capital!! LOL It is one thing to lose a war from time to time, it is quite another to kneel so quickly. Militarily France has been useless since Napoleon, and he wasn't even French!
You clearly know nothing about french history. Total death toll of french soldier during WW2 first period (1940) was as tough as during WW1 worst period...
Some unit, that had not enough equipment still attacked german tanks and most of them simply ran to their death in order to slow the avance of the ennemy.
A young lieutnant who had commited suicide after seeing all his soldier die wrote this to the french president: "Sir, we were brave, but one doesnt fight tanks with rilfes" SO PLEASE SHUTUP
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The French (who always appear to be pacifists) truly show their envious face about American and British Military superiority. Just once I'd like to see them tango with formidable enemy and not run away. I can't think of any real military conquests they've had since Napoleon.
bullshit. France don't run away. The French army has been sent in Afghanistan, and if you think that being involved in a war like Nam or Irak is a proof of Military superiority, well... We don't have the same idea of military superiority. By killing civilians, the US Army don't really show her superiority...
France does have a powerful military with innovative military weapons such as Leclerec and Famas to name a few. It seems to me that France's citizens just don't have the stomach and patriotism to fight a war. Fighting a war without public support is very hard. Although I do beleive that France should act more aggresively and not just for lack of better words pussy out. Sarkoz'y decison to elevate troop levels in AFghanistan was music to my ears.
Salut j'aurai aimé savoir comment s'appele le chant du début aussi, quand y chante en tahitien, le titre exact please, merci ! superbe vidéo hormis ca
I'm not sure if I should say that, but I wanted to say it badly for a long time now. I'm not certain why, but my impression is that the French soldiers have the tightest pants (both combat and dress pants) of all nations. Sure it makes them sexy, handsome and all that, (specially in nearby brothels), but is it really that practical? After all if it's that tight, it is liable to crack open on their asses by any sudden move, which would be an embarrassment even for a French, is it not? ☺
Je l'espère ! Si au moins nous pouvions être souverain dans un avenir proche, mais je crais que ce ne soit pas le cas, plusieurs sont assimilé et sont contre un pays souverain (Se rende même pas compte que le Québec est un pays gouverner par un autre pays...) Mais avec un peu d'effort nous aurions au moins 60% de gens en faveur.
Désolé, on avait à l'époque un roi vieillissant (Louis XV mourra en 1774 après un règne de 69 ans) dépourvu de vision à long-terme... Sur le moment, il avait besoin de sucre, il a préféré nos îles des Antilles au Québec... Mais la revanche viendra, nous avons tant de grandes choses à accomplir ensemble !
Vive l'Armée Française, qui combat tous les jours pour notre drapeau magnifique et notre devise, la seule pour laquelle il vaille de se battre en ce monde : Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité !
@ AchtungPanzer: The song is "no toku here", a traditional tahitian song. The infanterie de marine was thze colonial army, and they have a lot of traditions from overseas.
I don't know guys. I think Andorra and Liechtenstein won them war :D OK enough kidding. I like the French military marching with the foreign legion guys being a little bit better.
I fuck the American soldiers they want to prove that they are the best they think than it is them which can learn all with the others whereas they should learn has to close their mouth rather than to praise itself to make the war everywhere.

Yon jamais gagné aucune guerre. Ils sont toujours du côté des plus fort pcq i sont trop faible pour vivre tout seul. Sont orgeuilleux, mais yon aucune raison de l'être. Yavais presque toute l'amérique du nord, pi i lon perdu. Yon eu besoin ché pas combien de fois d'alliés pour survivre. Yon fait des opérations de maraudage plus que dotre chose. Encore en cote d'ivoire yon été obligé de fuir ya pas lgtmps. Jsé pas ski font à l'ONU...
14-18, l'Algérie, la première guerre du golfe, la côte d'ivoire (l'armée n'a pas fui, uniquement les civils, l'armée à tenu ses positions et a évité la guerre civile.
Les usa aussi on eu besoin d'alliés, même pour la dernière guerre du golfe (qu'ils vont perdre d'ailleurs.)
nice to see that the french can march in step pity they cant march towards the front line that quick. As for the British Army being shit saved your ass in two wars. I have for sale 5000 french rifles from 1939/40 never fired only dropped once some still in the wrapping. got them of a germany soldier who said he found them by the side of the road in paris just before he went nite clubbing. Can also get some french kit from Algiers same thing happend their.GOD SAVE THE QUEEN
"British army is the best trained in the world" well, this is your point of view, and i respect it( and the british army by the way).
"France arent the biggest country in europe Germany is" France IS the largest country among European Union's countries. Check it on Wikipedia. The second is Spain.
on dit France IS et non ARE, et "in spite of HAVING"... donc tes cours d'anglais tu peu te les garder. J'ai lu ton poste jusqu'au bout et je maintiens: La France a gagnée plus de guerres que les Americains n'ont remportés de batailles.Désolé
ni le tien."en dépit d'avoir perdu toutes ses guerres, étrange non?"peut prêter à confusion, reconnait le. Enfin bon on est du meme avis c'est déja bien.
Je te rapelle les victoires de Napoléon, de la Révolution (l'armée révolutionnaire contre le reste de l'europe a toujours vaincu!), 14-18, Louis XIV...
Some years ago a competition was arranged between Members of the FFL, British Marines and U.S Rangers. A race covering an exacting assault course! 'La Legion' did it in approx 7hours. British Marines in around 10 hours and the U.S Rangers took a day and a half! Is there a lesson here for those Americans so full of how bloody good they are? French FL-soldiers are modest and ALL do 'the camerone', think about that!
Come on americans, stop sayin' bullshit, we've been fighting together, and ya'll know that the Marines wanted to stop training with them cuz It was too hard, I'm not dissing the USMC, but learn to respect the others !
We've fought and helped each other for years. The French helped America, we helped the French. Cheers to good soldiers everywhere in all free countries. Why insult your friends.
this is sheer calumny, France won WW1 with guts, America wasn t in till the very last offensives and it was a completely depleted country when WW2 occured yet they managed to create a resistance and eventualy overthrew the Germans thanks to the backing of the allied forces... Do not take all credits for yourself. Lafayette battles for American independance war were as much decisive as the American and Allied forces landing on the beaches of Normandy in WW2...
The Bagpipes come from Bretagne. A lot of celtic traditions there.
We had a few former Marines in french army (legion). Most of them were pussies and quit after a short time. The guys oin the film are marching on when marines beg for a heli.
Honneur et Patrie !

So please if you are going to try to insult your U.S. viewers, at least get your history straight, France was far more the aggressor in world history before the 20th Century than any other state in Europe. Your argument is false.

@dbstarfish I do not want to insult US viewers. I was merely answering a comment I found inaccurate; about Germany, I did not say France was continuously attacked by Germany (or un-unified german states and principalties), but rather that there was a history of violence between two neighbor people, whoever the agressor was.
indhochine 1 year ago
We were us also at that time in war against the U.K., i point out it, and without the victory of French Navy (the most powerful navy of the world at the 18th century) vs Brits Navy and the helps of the French Army on the ground, the U.K. would not have lost (or not so quickly)

Thank you very much of course
BUT it's normal between the 2 oldests Republics allied of the world !!
And especially because it should not be forgotten that the USA exists because France helped you during your independence war !!

For the WW1 as i show you, France had already done all the work
Because France was and largely the first power of democratics allieds during the WW1 !!
And it's France which paid much more the price (much more than all allieds same UK !!)
When the US army arrived in France in 1917 (wee had in war for more than 3 years already, I point out it) it was equipped and entrained by the French Army for example

BUT
- Max deads for France (numbers more precis now) : 1.700.000 in WW1 and about 4.000.000 !!! with the missings :-(
A big part of our generation men between 18 and 30 old was missed in this WW1 :-(
it was a great misfortune for the demography of France in this time

Salut au 8e RPIMA (at 0:40), which saw tough action in Afghanistan recently.
I'm amazed to read some of the crass stupid comments about the French who "surrendered to the Germans after only 6 weeks" - always the same cliché (did any country fare better, then? The Brits reembarked after 4 weeks).
And - why not ? - "Napoleon wasn't even French" !!
Would you please open a history book, and shut your mouth?

No, I meant like the French in WWII. Every country has lost in battle, of course. I hold nothing against France for losing some of its battles. My point was that the French surrendered to the Germans after only 6 weeks! The French didn't fire a single shot to defend their precious capital!! LOL It is one thing to lose a war from time to time, it is quite another to kneel so quickly. Militarily France has been useless since Napoleon, and he wasn't even French!

You clearly know nothing about french history. Total death toll of french soldier during WW2 first period (1940) was as tough as during WW1 worst period...
Some unit, that had not enough equipment still attacked german tanks and most of them simply ran to their death in order to slow the avance of the ennemy.
A young lieutnant who had commited suicide after seeing all his soldier die wrote this to the french president: "Sir, we were brave, but one doesnt fight tanks with rilfes" SO PLEASE SHUTUP

The French (who always appear to be pacifists) truly show their envious face about American and British Military superiority. Just once I'd like to see them tango with formidable enemy and not run away. I can't think of any real military conquests they've had since Napoleon.
ent235man 3 years ago
bullshit. France don't run away. The French army has been sent in Afghanistan, and if you think that being involved in a war like Nam or Irak is a proof of Military superiority, well... We don't have the same idea of military superiority. By killing civilians, the US Army don't really show her superiority...
Astarogounet 3 years ago 2
France does have a powerful military with innovative military weapons such as Leclerec and Famas to name a few. It seems to me that France's citizens just don't have the stomach and patriotism to fight a war. Fighting a war without public support is very hard. Although I do beleive that France should act more aggresively and not just for lack of better words pussy out. Sarkoz'y decison to elevate troop levels in AFghanistan was music to my ears.

I'm not sure if I should say that, but I wanted to say it badly for a long time now. I'm not certain why, but my impression is that the French soldiers have the tightest pants (both combat and dress pants) of all nations. Sure it makes them sexy, handsome and all that, (specially in nearby brothels), but is it really that practical? After all if it's that tight, it is liable to crack open on their asses by any sudden move, which would be an embarrassment even for a French, is it not? ☺
