I totally forgot that Thursday was Bastille Day. Happy Bastille Day all my French readers.
And my apologies to Sarko and the rest of the French Government.
And, we do owe the French for our victory at Yorktown, in our own Revolution. Their support was in their supposed self-interest, although it cost them money and helped lead to the French Revolution. A military operation costing money? There may be a lesson there.
But, anyway, thanks.

I've been away from the blog world for a bit there and missed Bastille Day, too. Do want to take this opportunity to mention that on 13JUL, a French patrol in Kapisa Province was ambushed and five French soldiers were KIA. Bastille Day ceremonies for TF Lafayette were cancelled. French flag at Camp Phoenix is still at half-mast.
ReplyDeleteThe French were instrumental in our own war for Independence and still play an important role in our current war against fascist extremists.
