Wow, somes jokes don't get old it seems...
I heard that USN ASW practice consists in dropping fat people as depth charges and broadcasting Oprah with their active sonar ! The soviet sailors couldn't stand it and committed suicide inside their subs.

When you do not know what you're talking about it remains silent:shifty:

Some mission regarded as non-priority have simply been cancelled, due to higher oil prices

i understand fully missions of national importance come first over national pride i respect the french navy for what they do to protect thier country.

HOWEVER

i do not agree with thier policy on terrorism in which a terrorist attack can be met with nuclear weapons.

I dont not like the fact they supplied an anglo french missile to our enamies argentina in the falklans in 1982

I do not agree with many other poilicies they have.

I am 100% sure the feeling is mutual however like every person in the "free" world i reserve the right to critisize, and i do believe this is what both french british and indeed many other national powers are trying to exercise at this point in time.

I understand your feeling, French policies like that of other countries have made good and bad things.

But I do not think it is necessary to discuss political on this forum.

We are a community of player leave politics to our elected;)
