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

    Carrying on the French bashing theme just read the description of this

    Nice set though

    Might even throw a bid at it

    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!
