Online homage to French soldiers killed in Afghanistan

[alexraoul26]

moi je comprends toujours pas pourquoi on de continue de faire equipe avec les americains partout ou ils vont.et dans tous ce qu ils font;soyons francs:ils nous detestent et essayent de nous enc..er et de nous salir chaque fois qu ils le peuvent.peut etre serait il temps de redefinir nos amities.on supporte les americains(pas sur que l histoire nous pardonne),et on laisse tomber des allies hitoriques comme le liban.

[delamotteh]

@alexraoul26 je suis assez d accord. Pourquoi etre allié avec un pays qui nous déteste. Les Américains( du Nord) n'ont aucun respect pour nous, ils nous insultent sans arret, ils y perdent leur honneur. Arrrogants, irrespectueux, ou est le fameux allié dans tout cela ?

[aviomaster]

Go Taliban FIGHT for your HOMELAND kill the ENEMY ...

French are  slaves of USA imperialism. Simply imbeciles.

[joseba900]

Vive La Legion Etrangere

[obietrice99]

@vlad5548 ill hope u get bombed

[vlad5548]

Go go Taliban !!!!

[bkbc3000]

restez en France , si les arabes doivent rester dans leurs pays, "j'ai touché à la colonisation j'arrive plus à décrocher..."

[feverben]

Why the americans always saying French army is sh*t for me americans won in WW2 okay but they loose in Vietnam, in Korea , in Somalia , in Irak and they sold weapons to talibans and they have trained them to fight Russians but now talibans fight against us ...

[major2472]

I think that it's so stupid to say the french army is sh*t. Because the american army and french army help each other and are fighting together vs talibans the most stupid are talibans .les americains et les français sont ensemble contre les talibans mais il y a des gens qui disent que l 'armée française est une merd*, byzare quant on sait que c'est l'une des meilleurs armée au monde...........

[LogarLion]

GO TO HELL PIGS!!!!

[borncoza]

This is about young soldiers who gave their lives for their country, their fellow comrades and their family. The least we can do is pay them some respect, i don't understand those who are just here to bring hate. I feel sorry for those who don't know what respect means.

[afglionheart]

@borncoza no they wer slaves who attacked innocent people. out of afghanistan no war

[raoali80]

it is Jews,American and British war.

France should out of war.

Americans can not win this war.

Negotiating with so-called Good Taliben.

[Fridomfry]

@raoali80, Islamic terrorists have blasted bombs in Paris, killed French people, and spread hate against France for decades. If they wanted "France out of this war", they should not have started it.

We refused to participate in the invasion of Iraq, as we knew there were no Islamic terrorists under Saddam's dictatorship. But all the Islamo-rascals who blasted bombs here or hijacked airplanes had been trained in A'stan.

[raoali80]

@Fridomfry

Most Muslims and Pakistanis like Europe and specially pay respects , France ,which stand against invasion on Iraq basis of Fake reports. we like also Americans and British but Govt policies aggregating extrimism in Mulim countries Massacre of  1.2 million iraqis and there is no figure available of disable and Orphan

[Fridomfry]

@raoali80, we can agree on that. i just wanted to remember that, long before "9/11", France had to defend itself against Islamic terrorists. Anyway, I do respect Moslems just as much as Christians and others. I know they are also a target for Al Qaida fanatics. Salam aleikoum.

[raoali80]

@Fridomfry

Thanks for negotiation ,

Everyone agree innocent people killing is Terrorism but Muslims have reservations that why you don't call BUSH,BLAIR and Cronies Terrorist, they also killed innocent people in Iraq.

or called their actions Christianity Terrorism

Islamic terrorism term is not good.

[raoali80]

@Fridomfry

In pakistan people dont like Al Qaida and suppose terrorist group and we are backing our military but

Al Qaida claims that it is in revenge of Plestine ,therefore a substantial ratio of Muslims supports Al Qaeda

Pakistani think Al Qaida and Taliban production of America against USSR , why just blaming Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Muslims.

[raoali80]

@Fridomfry Pakistan ,Saudia , Yemen fighting against Al Qaida.

3500 Pakistani Soldiers killed in this fight and 30,000 civilian casualities and approximately 70,000 are injured 60 billion Dollar lost in this War.

Pakistanis are still against Al Qaida

As well as American Govt policies

,orphan.Just said "Iraq war was a mistake",

But no punishment and accountability of Bush , Blair cronies .

Al Qaida and some extrimist elements actions are harming Muslims more than Europe

[wwwtotalitaerde]

My brother Markus Bott had been tortured during five and a half years by the German BND, which is the former GESTAPO. I recorded more than 100 videotapes which ended up in the legal system. My brother was tortured during 1.5 years despite several legal procedures pending. Markus Bott was assassinated on July 11th 2009 because of our homepage, linked on my channel, and our book Der Totalitäre Staat. If my homepage disappears, the BND will have assassinated me as well.

[montceau]

On voit directe les gens qui n'y connaissent rien en Histoire. L'armée allemande été loin d'être composé que par des allemands et elle n'était pas seule, entre les allemands, les autrichiens, les tchèques et même les russes... Sa fait vite un beau monde, alors va ouvrir un livre d'Histoire avec de parler. Ensuite les armées franco-anglaises étaient BEAUCOUP plus puissantes que les allemandes. Juste que nous on avait une stratégie de merde et Hitler a bien huiler son truc.

[Mattyuk1]

I dont know which i'd die of first, the smell of curry or the garlic.

[R3V3NG350]

Why you always remenber world war 2 stupids americans? Ok we know the french army loose, I want to say thanks to americans soldiers to fight for France but now the french army is strong and stop talk about WW2. We fight in Afghanistan with american army and it's good to fight next them

[Fridomfry]

In May-June 1940, there were 100,000 French killed (not 80,000), 70,000 Brits and 24,000 Germans. Plus a few thousands Belgians and Dutch (sorry, friends, I'm not taking it lightly either)

How could that amount to 300,000 casualties? Unless you add the wounded.

Besides, the battle of France lasted from May 10 to June 20, which is a bit more than "10 days". Some units had fought already in Norway, and of course the Air Force and Navy had been in operations since Sept. 1939.

[rw5791]

of course,in 1940 the french army still had many good fighters but the society had become rotten with decadent socialists who destroyed the army's ability to function at a high level.This is the lesson of the "battle of france."

[Fridomfry]

Another lesson was that it was stupid to embark on another war, hardly 20 years after France had been bled white and devastated by WW1. And against a German Reich supported by the Soviet Union, which thus could concentrate all its forces against the western democracies!

[rw5791]

france had no choice,hitler was drunk with power.One wonders though,how the war would have played out if the french and BEF had repulsed the german invasion.

[Fridomfry]

France had the choice of the timing. In the mid-1930s, the French right-wing had pressed the government to employ military force to curb Hitler before he became too strong. Yet the lame politicians in power argued that Britain would not support a French enforcement of the Versailles treaty, and that the League of Nations was the place to negociate...

In 1939, it was too late... or too early. French armed forces planned to be fully modernized by 1941. Imagine...

[rw5791]

I see,and all those french and british soldiers were hung out to dry to face the blitzkrieg.There was no political fighting over in germany in the 30's,just one purpose.Destroy the enemy.

[DraGorian777]

franch foreign legion!

[maggiethefox]

I know one thing. The idiots insulting the French on here have never met the French Para's. Tough hard bastards. Icy cool with a lot of nerve when the chips are down. Good men to be with when the whizzbangs start flying. Great shots and march for ever with big weight. No ....you idiot big mouthed bastards have NEVER met the French Para's.

[rw5791]

it's one thing to be physically fit and quite another thing to be battle tested.The historical record cannot be denied.

[Tobias8164]

u mean the terrorists invading afganistan...

guess taliban is much tougher

[saleta]

we fuck the french para and we fuck all the french.

[jurgenmanfred]

no shit

[Fridomfry]

No point in calling each other names. We are allied in the war against Islamic terrorists. And we'd better learn history, rather than using clichés to insult comrades of arms.

There are not more "coward Anglo-Saxons" than "surrender monkeys" or "nazi-born Germans".

[seabear145]

well, just to tell you.

Sincere american govt let OSAMA bin Laden Slip away in 2001 in afghanistan.

they had chance to capture him alive. there are videos on youtube about this.

why?

war is profit for some and ultimate price for other.

and that's reality. you will see the truth.

[coreyl456]

If the Americans weren't in WWll then you guys would probably have lost against the Germans as we did a lot of damage to the Nazi. Only if Hitler didn't make the Mistake he made in Russia. So you better be thankful:D Cause if it ever happened again you better hope we help=P The best way to defeat a Country is Economically.

[rw5791]

uh,the french capitulated in about 10 days to the german army.The british were lucky,they had a place to retreat to.

[coreyl456]

Yeah so the french were almost defeated if they didn't surrender.

[TheImmediateMusic]

french government capitulated, not the 5 millions french who died for their freedom

[s0undActivist]

huh ? it lasted for 1month and a half ..

300 000 dead in less than 2 months..

i'm kinda of those retards talking shit about the french.

[rw5791]

The battle of france was effectively over in 10 days when german units reached the normandy coast.There were 300,000 CASUALTIES including 70,000 brits,80,000 french and 24,000 germans killed.

[s0undActivist]

well no the battle of France ends when the Germans reach Paris and when the armistice is signed a few days later.

and there was 300 000 ALLIED casualties.

they didnt reach normandy, they've reached dunkirk, which is actually quite far from normandy.

[rw5791]

one could argue the battle was over in first 48 hours when the germans smashed through at sedan.Guderian kept his panzers rolling until they reached abbeville,trapping the BEF and the cream of the french army in a giant pocket that kept shrinking until the beach at dunkirk was the only way out.There was no siege of paris.The government packed up and declared it an open city on june 10.

[BOUCHAK]

I am french and only french! I AM THAT I AM ... AND I HAVE TO ASSUME OUR HISTORY.... ANGLO SAXONS HATE US! So, I don't want other french soldiers be killed in Afghanistan just for US propaganda "the war against terrorist!" This war cannot be win as the war in Irak! For you, we are only shit, so I don't want french soldiers just killed are insulteted by their "friends" : we don't need friends that think we are shit! thank you ...

[PeteyGunn]

first of all shit for brains im CANADIAN not american!, second name one time the french army busted through the german lines. NOT ONCE, yet the small canadian army proved able to do what you AND the british couldnt do, then there was world war two, are you going to tell me you won that one too? go ahead shit for brainsread your french history books and feed me another line of shit. you havent won a war since before napolion!

[karlos76600]

ww1 so go away

[thebadsinger]

no country won WW2 alone, and certainly not canadians.

French resistance did a great job with few material, giving their life away for freedom of french people, and without them the american would have had a hard time pushing the german. Plus, if France hadn't been priorly fighting the german, the german would have been much stronger then.

For the sake of all these french men who died fighting, disagreing with the french governement, please don't just come here with your blatant ignorance.

[BOUCHAK]

You are just able to insult french soldiers KIA you are a winkers, are all the canadians like you ...

[msa181019al]

what a pity to see soldier lying like that But the politican enjoing.Did the politican son ready to give their life oh no they will never. THING NOW

[PeteyGunn]

really, then the next time the germans (or your own immagrants )decide to beat the shit out of france dont come crying to us for help, weve come to your rescue twice you ungrateful puke!

[PLUME75]

We've come to your rescue twice before you came to ours: 1780 & 1812, remember ? And you've got your own country instead of being part of the Commonwealth now. And please: never tell that you've came to our rescue in ww1, we werent even waiting for u anymore as it took u 3 years before daring to put a foot on European battlefields. You went in war after a NYC port's ammo depot was blasted by german agents, brutaly waking you up. And we had to learn you how to fight on real battlefields so...

[mariusrodrigo]

fuck you you ignorant fat ass

If it wasn't for us, you would be british you moron, and open some history books because France won WW1.

[AttackTheGasStation1]

Independance war, you don't remember, asshole ???

[Mohammed4200]

French go home to france.

And say laillahaillallah and konvertiert to Islam.

That is better us fight with taliban

[DodgeVip3r]

Afghanistan was ruled under Islamic Sharia long before the arrival of the Arab mujahideen, moron. They did not come to implement sharia, rather support the Afghan people in their struggle from the communists and now the imperialist pigs fighting for the Zionist Bankers.

[DodgeVip3r]

The Arabs are a minority in the struggle against the occupying terrorist forces of NATO, the Afghan people themselve want their country to be ruled under Islamic Law.

[DodgeVip3r]

Hopefully more of the Occupying forces die like rats.

[Fridomfry]

You mean the islamists who came from all the Arab world to impose the Sharia on the Afghan people ? Yes, these occupying forces will die like rats in their caves.

[AAWXXDD]

Prepared? To break into homes - how is that relevant training??

[106419WTF]

bcs I tell the truth?

lol^^

[NIKKKRED]

Sarkozy is a bastard who sucks american dick every day.

I would personally send troops there but only if the french people approve. And we never approved that.

[Fridomfry]

So am I. In fact I don't think the French force in A'stan is "a token force", considering the shrinkage of the French Army since the end of the cold war, and the fact that we have to be present in other parts of the world. We should devote more forces, but only with a better strategy. As you know, guerilla war is not to be won just with more soldiers and ammo.

As for our Germans friends well, they need to learn again to operate in foreign countries! Best.

[106419WTF]

lol!

some afghans with towel on their head and flip flops and rotten ak's kill some "highly trained" french troops.

lol!

epic

afg delivers major lulzz^^

[Oliv29FR]

You are a real piece of shit man !

[kelli7767]

That is funny to you, WTF? Keep talking you human waste.

[tolz0]

I think that finally the french and the americans are on the same page.....you cant talk to these people....you kill them!!!!

[Aelkamal]

thats because u cant talk with a Fanatic... fanatic people cant laugh at themselves, they also think they work for the greater good, so philosophically speaking, they think that by blowing up, they do u a favor because they love u loool...

[Fridomfry]

"finally the French and the Americans are on the same page"

Why "finally"? tolz0, we were in A'stan from the start, in 2001, we reacted exactly like the US immediately after 9/11. We opposed the invasion of Irak, that's a different matter (which pissed off the Bush admin). Agree with you on the Talibans.

[tolz0]

The french sent a token force....also the germans...with restrictions!!! Finally with some prodding from the other euro members they sent more troops...and commited to combat!!! For the longest time we watched some of the smaller countries (denmark, holland,norway etc...etc)do alot of the tough fighting...and they sent more troops...and never complained...once!! Im not complaining im glad that weve put this trendy we hate you...you hate us thing to rest....FINALLY!!

[mounirmsc]

Se sont juste des mercenaires, cette guerre leur est étrangère.

[commentmutant]

better get used to it, theres more of us than you. white people are going to be the minority buddy! haha viva la raza fuck the white redneck minuteman confedrate bastards.. go spread your racism & stupidity elsewhere!

[commentmutant]

shut up dumbass confedarate... those glorious southern soldiers ended up losing to the union and the unions AFRICAN AMERICAN SOLDIERS AS WELL!! so in your face redneck.. mexican and black power..

[eefred59]

salut sachez une chose nos soldats sur le terrain sont à des années lumieres de vos gamineries et croyez moi au combats on oublie vite tout ce qui se rapporte à la politique et ils vont tous dans le même sens: la survie

[BOUCHAK]

We know, for now, what americans are thinking about us (the frogs!) ... why do we fight for these people that hate us and are enjoy when our soldiers are killed, WHY?

AMERICANS ARE NOT OUR FRIENDS! (SAME WITH CANADIANS).

[commentmutant]

wow you are really stupid..

[titiboo90]

pauvre type !

[Darien331]

Half of Canada IS french. You dont even know what your talking about.

[BOUCHAK]

Forget that I have said ... It was a reaction about snoopyshine (from canada )that enjoy that french soldiers were killed in Afghanistan.This is true that is imature to answer to this kind of provocation, but, yourself, what did you anwser if a french man insulte Canadians soldier K.I.A.

[Darien331]

Id call them a bitch and a coward. Maybe give them a reality check if they doubt the amount of effort CF is doing putting into Afghanistan. But I know the world is full of assholes, a few in each country.

All Im saying is that I as a canadian have never heard any one around me put the French military down, people like that are rare here (and usually from Alberta).

[Fridomfry]

As far as I understand, this subprime wizard is an Asian who stirs resentment against French colonization in Indochina. Not really a brother-of-arms Not a real American. Support our troops !

[286ghazi]

lol the west never learns from history...history is the greatest prostitute.these crusades r gona fail like their predecessors did in the medieval times.

[tlalotoani]

BOOOORING!!!!

[commentmutant]

yeah look at the sandnigger death toll, i think we have done enough damage to put these rats (people) in their place. and plus this is a mega crusade founded by at least 5 nations.. douchebag...

[93APARIS]

et bien, les Américains insultes les Français et inversement, voila des échanges qui vont durer encore longtemps, malheureusement les mois se suivent et se ressemblent beaucoup sur internet, mais les soldats la haut se battent ensembles, pour une même causes, a tord ou a raison

[snoopyshine]

i recently heard of a group of french soliders that was killed in afghanistan. i heard that the french would be sending more troops and to that i say, kill em good frenchies whoo!

[garneray]

Qui est impérialiste ?

[watisna]

quite la france alors boukake de merde!

[subprime2006]

French: Remember "Dien Bien Phu" 1954?

French was never building anything but instead of taking other resources back to its shit hole call France.

French is the dying breed!

[Gr33nd0g]

damn,

remember Corea ?

remember Vietnam ?

remember Iraq ?

And by the way Nato's in Afghanistan to backup U.S.

U that stoopid, must be republican, go touch yourself thinkin Mc Cains.

[bzhseat]

remember Vietnam too

and maybe Lafayette if you know who he is

[hotdog84]

remember vietnam ?

remember japan ? the USA is the only one country wich sent 2 atomic bombs on one country, because you haven't got any balls betwin your legs...

[Faucon551237]

Ca c'est ce qui s'appelle etre completement étroit d'esprit...à ce point c'est grave. Dommage pour lui, mais comme il ne s'en rend meme pas compte.

[BOUCHAK]

Typique d'un sale arabe vivant en France, cracher sur des héros morts au combat, alors que dans sa culture, la lacheté, le sadisme, le mensonge sont encouragés.

Si je te croise, je te crêve! d'homme à homme (mais tu n'en es pas un)

[mattlerat]

va bruler en enfer fils de pute

[mattlerat]

ferme ta gueulle fils de pute

[rudeydudey05]

RIP for the brave French troops who died in Afganistan.

[fbourde]

aahha you are a funny guy!

[BOUCHAK]

My father have made algeria war and has send napalm

over the head of your muslim brother, my dear Mohad ...

good save the queen ...

[hamrite]

And what about the article in Paris Match which is actually describing how the battle was lost more dramatically than said by the ministry of defence. The french really have a problem in communication.

[Xiloforce]

And that's a official france 24 video ? .. pff...

[Xiloforce]

Stop to broadcast your inventions ..

You have too much imagination...

[flukux]

how can you diffuse such lies about the french forces in afghanistan ??? You show footages of french special forces in training to show "how well trained" they were... These footages have nothing to do with those killed in action...

9 of the 10 dead were about 20 years old and part of the french marines corps ... the special forces were in afghanistan in 2002 but have been replaced by regular forces last year .. why such blatant lies ???
