    The only brave Frenchman I've run across is this Larry Ivan guy. image

    I assume that the title was not meant as a slam on French soldiers, rather, just another example of the overuse of the word "rare" on eBay.

    In a valient effort to bring this unsavory, almost french bashing thread back to topic, let me remind you that this is one French soldier who kicked a little butt in his time.
    Yes, yes, I know he was beaten in the end, but he was a player on a world stage, likely to be remembered far longer than Clinton or Bush!

    You didn't see the First Rule of French Warfare. Napoleon was a Corsican. imageimage

    Yes, Corsica, "Emperors R Us", right?
