  • The french left keeps me in near constant despair, LFI (big left party) after keeping a fucking domestic abuser in their ranks, have found nothing better to do than hound one of the rugby players of our national team 3 days before the world cup scheduled start for a racist remark said to another player 5 years ago. The player was disciplined and clearly changed for the better so this is utterly irrelevant, has made many people very angry and, since Rugby is a massively popular sport here and lots of workers play it, LFI have lost even more credit, somehow, amongst workers. As many here have said, the most important thing is to win labor victories, so this is just really bad timing, and bad PR imo. i really dont know how to feel about this, the next election cycle is about to begin and the biggest left party in france is engaging in stupid shit like this, i really dont understand. ALSO WHY THE FUCK DID THEY KEEP THE GUY WHO BEAT HIS WIFE




  • Lol its actually the opposite too, american soldiers wear too much gear, carry too much and have too much funds, meanwhile french soldiers are all true athletes. You get dropped hundreds of kms away from your target and you better walk fast to get there. Last year i was drinking with a dude who used to be in the army and who got the boot for punching an officer in the face (lmao) and he told me that marines came to his base to train. The US marines got up at 6 for some routine country marching with all their gear on (which is something like 40kg+). An older dude grabs him by the shirt and tells him to roll a truck out which confuses the fuck out of the guy. Eventually he realises they’re following the marines on their walk, and on the side of the road, hundreds of discarded items. Basically the US marines were just throwing their gear away, one item at a time. So the two guys get off the truck and slowly start chucking random shit in for hours and then haul the literal tons of gear back to base.

    The old guy then tells him that this happens every time US soldiers come here and that theyre the laziest forces he’s ever seen, that theyre used to getting to places in jeeps, trucks, hummers etc and forgot how to walk, that theyre all addicted to steroids and have too many muscles, useless to have when in a real war you often trekk 30+ km a day. In the french army you get deployed 100+ kms away from your objective and you haul all your shit over the terrain, and youre expected to do this in a day.

    i wont go over the rest, the fact that france basically made a better F35 and abrams for like 10% of the cost, and that the supposedly best the US army has to offer refuses to even try the training courses elite french forces routinely go through in Guyane (horrible fucked up jungle trail thing).

    But both armies fucking suck and serve shitty goals so who fucking cares tbh

    TLDR: US soldiers are lazy roided out meatheads who cant jog 10 miles, and id love to have whatever the dude OP posted was smoking when he typed this shit
