GUT-WRENCHING VIDEO OF FRENCH TROOPS IN BATTLE IN ALASAY VALLEY AFGHANISTAN


This video follows a company of French soldiers as they prepare and go into battle against the Taliban in Alasay Valley, Afghanistan. Watch as one French soldier sees his wife and baby girl on a video before the battle.

This is a moving video and should put to rest the snide comments by Fox News commentators who are constantly mocking the French soldiers as too frightened to fight.

If there is anyone who is too frightened to fight it is the chicken-hawks at Fox News who ALL managed to avoid military service.

As the senior Coalition Officer present on the battlefield,senior mentor to 1st Kandak ANA, and commander of Marine Embedded Training Team 6-4 I can attest to the stellar performance of the French troopers. I fought along side them that day and many other days in those valleys, and would go anywhere on the planet with them.

Sean: Thanks so much for your comment and thanks for your service to our country. It isn't often we hear from someone who has actually served in combat like you have done.
