Talking Great Greenpeace Quote:

I saw this on a VW TDI forum today:

"After the last oil rig has been sunk, the last refinery blown up and the last gas station shut down, mankind will realise that one cannot stop at Greenpeace on the way home and purchase cold beer."

Profound misunderestimation of what Greenpeace is about.

Still funny!

I remember a few years back one of there ships was given a nice fine for the illegal discharge of oil in a port.

I really enjoy making fun of them and PETA.

My favorite Greenpeace moment was when the French attacked their boat in Tahiti, and the French were victorious! They killed a sailor on the yacht when they surreptitiously planted an explosive onboard in order to disable the boat. the bomb was so large it destroyed the boat and killed at least one person.

By golly, when the French set their mind to defeat even the most dangerous, determiened enemy, their national honor will help them bravely endure!

And how the commandos were caught is the best part, it is almost a text book for all Special Forces soldiers.......#1 is the Iranian hostage mission, but that episode is a very close second.

1er RPIMa is not a group anyone would want to f--- with.

Not kidding, I trained with Frech soldiers and although they are few in numbers they are ferocious fighters.

I know they had some French 'commandos' training at Ft. Benning and I have seen them around Ft. Bragg too.

Guderian didn't think much of there armed forces in 1940, and his XIX Army Corps, spear headed by Panzer Divisons 1, 2, and 10 with support; would have beaten the British to Dunkirk if Hitler hadn't ordered them to stop, several times.

They may have some good formations, but they havn't won anything in a very long time.

I think what Med means and certainly what I did, is that if you encounter one of these fellows they send over to sister train at Bragg, you might get your ass kicked if you are not careful

Oh don't be such a party-line old hippy. Those pricks are a hazzard to navigation and nothing more than a hobby for milfs in california that drive range rovers to their rallies. Are you a member?--they wouldn't take you at the poser chapters around here. They got their ass kicked on the GoM a few years back for messing around and tresspassing on an oil rig by the crew of a supply boat and later the USCG--guess their yacht ran out their on soy milk . One of the funniest tee shirts I ever saw was a picture of Mike Mover's Green Piece (gun) one. Iceholes are waayyy off their original target mission and responsible for a lot of vandalism.

How many French soldiers does it take . . ?

Someone once asked, "How many French soldiers does it take to successfully defend Paris?"

The answer: "I don't know. It's never been attempted."
