The not so French Frenchies have rocked up and sound ready to rumble
If anything bothers them about the Afghan mission, it's NATO's rules of engagement, which stress the need not just to fight the Taliban but to befriend the local population.
"We're meant for fighting. There's too much chatting around here," said Chief Sgt. Alex, downing beers in the legionnaires' clubhouse at Tora base, an open-air shed whose large flat-screen TV was showing hard-core porn videos to the music of "Viagra," a Ukrainian techno band.

That's all fine and dandy, but when you translate "fighting " from the root French it means, "Running home crying to our Mamma's". And "chatting" means "Not bathing for a month and acting arrogant".
Unless of course it was Ukrainian porn they were watching on that TV. In which case I'm sure even the French would rather go and fight.

I'm a constitutionalist, son. I don't think we should clearcut, it's ok for chicks to have an abortion, save the whales, recycle, own all the guns you like, give power back to the states and take it away from the Fed. I'm multi-faceted. You don't get it and I don't think you will. But if I spent a couple hours around your lady she'd get that I'm all that and a bag of chips.
