Their intelligence services are pretty decent, too. Remember, DGSE blew up a Greenpeace ship. We should give credit where it's due.

Anyone interested in contemporary French military history ought to find the Criterion Collection DVD for The Battle Of Algiers.  It's a three disc set with a bunch of interviews with the Paras like Jacques Massu and the others who rooted out the FLN.  Great stuff and hilarious at times due to the typically French casual manner in which they describe their exploits.

In the cold war book "Spy Catcher" the Brits and US were always a little squeemish to sanction a hit. They would sub it out to the French who were eager to clip someone. I think the book is accurate and it emplied that the French foriegn service employed numerous assasins.

The ARF commandos that haave never been to France or fought beside them lose to make white flag jokes but the french military will go loud on some muthafuckas in a heartbeat. There used to be a West to East line off the horn of Africa that divided American and French anti-piracy repsonsability. For a long time a lot of US ship commanders would chase pirates and herd them into the french area where the french would launch a Rafale to straff the shit out of it or plaster it with a 4in gun. No board and search, no red tape.


I witnessed a coalition physical fitness competition where the top 3 finishers were all frenchies. They smoked the finest from USSOCOM and the USMC that was available in JTF-HOA.

The DVD was worth watching just for the interviews with Jacques Massu.  From his Wiki page:

On 14 January 1960, Massu gave an interview in which he declared:

“ The Army has the power. It did not show it yet, because the opportunity did not arise. But the Army will use its power in one precise occasion (...) it encourages settlers to constitute paramilitary organisations and provides them weapons.[2]”

After his criticism of the policy of de Gaulle in 1960, Massu was fired from his positions of military governor of Algiers. In 1962 he became military governor of Metz and of the Sixth military region in France. Promoted to général de corps d'armée (4 stars) in 1963. In March 1966, he became général d'armée (5 stars) and was made chief of the French forces in Germany. On 29 May 1968, Charles de Gaulle came to visit him at his headquarters in Baden-Baden during the events of May 68. Massu assured de Gaulle of his support, but according to some sources conditioned it upon an amnesty for French military officers implicated in coup attempts during the Algerian War..."Give me two divisions and tomorrow, you can take your breakfast on the Boulevard Saint Germain," Massu reportedly told DeGaulle.

Its possible. I was dating a Swiss woman that has a 5 year old and, of course, he has a bunch of the books. They're pretty comical. Globi wasn't always politically correct. The woman told me that they haven't translated them because they want to keep it as a Swiss thing, not take it globally and ruin it.

I suppose its possible though. I know its hard to find any memorabilia here in the US. I have a coffee cup, but it came from Switzerland.
