Do not pray for France.
They do not need it.
They have this to protect them. (France)
Pray instead for the enemies of France.
You have just stepped into the middle of something you dont understand. (Germany)
We might fight from time to time, but we are closer than blood. We are family.
Because they will be meeting their god soon enough. (France)
The most terrifying force on earth, is when a quiet man goes to war.
We are Frances Nephew
(US)
We are Frances Son
(Canada)
We are Frances Brother
The British
Now look at yourselves. look at us, and look at your selves again.
Did you honestly think this was a good idea?
You see, France has a very particular set of skills, skills they have acquired over a very long career in war. Skills that make them a nightmare for people like you.They will find you. And they will kill you.
We are just along for the ride.
Good luck.
FP Edit: 1) I apologize to the British for only calling them English,I shouldve known better.
2) This post has gotten way more popularity than i wouldve imagined. Both sides of the argument have been spoken and I approve of both sides. To clarify i am not pro war or in favor of mass murder and genocide of an entire people, religion and creed. I am against them doing that to me though. And while i have enjoyed reading the hate mail that has been sent to me I will give you the same response my sergent told me the day i left active duty. "people will hate you for what you are, they will spit on you, revile you and try to make you hate yourself. The lion doesnt give a shit about what the lamb bleats." I might not agree with your view and i dont care if you agree with mine. But i will fight for your right to have that view. Have a great day.

Yeah, you may be right. Unfortunately, if we don't wipe them out with our guns they will show up in our cities to shoot and blow us up.

Posts like this make me sad. How do people, after all that happened after 9/11 still think that more violence and weapons will solve this?

I'm willing to bet that the people of France just want to live their lives, eat some food and wine, have some sex, then you have 1/?

1whitemoon
the real war is against the propaganda. in facebook, in arabic TV, in schoolbooks. still, someone has to fight ISIS. obama sure doesn't
marzipanius
There is only one thing that for absolutely certain will not solve this: doing nothing. Please share your clever plans and ideas.
kregstrong
What do you think will solve this then since you are smarter than every country in the world?
Hybris51129
Its the fact that the violence we have used post 9/11 has been half assed and has only made our enemies stronger and smarter. (1)
Hybris51129
We must come to terms with the reality that this is an enemy that the west hasn't faced before & our old rules don't work in our favor (2/2)

Actually one could argue that the NEW rules don't work out in our favour. Because the old rules were invading anyone you didn't like and (1)

Yo, the Arabs feared Bush. They celebrated when Obama got in. Just saying.
gunnexx
Alternatives? These people are beyond reason, beyond logic. They do not understand what it is to negotiate, they just want to destroy
dumasaphobic
So we keep fighting and keep killing them back and they do the same. And the cycle of violence only benefits war profiteers.
gunnexx
Again, propose viable alternatives. They dont want to coexist, they dont want peace. They want the eradication of everything thats not them.
dumasaphobic
I dont have the solution, but i know that what we have been doing isn't fixing the problem. Just gonna play wack a mole forever?
trollprozac
Yeh, just let take over. That's a great plan... Hippies man, they never change.

The problem is that ISIS wants a war to prove that the west are violent imperialists. Going to war will just give them even more support.

You serious?
morpho4444
Totally... it seems that France has been attacking ISIS during the past month... crazy idea, why don't we let Middle East fix Middle East?
SergeantSalsa
Are you serious? Middle East fixing Middle East? And that makes ISIS and other radicals leave West alone? Please tell me you're joking
neanderbob
The middle East can't fix the middle East, when oppressors in the form of ISIS are killing and murdering the rational thinkers and innocents
morpho4444
Iran, Saudi Arabia, they can, they have the power but since US and others "help", they do nothing.
neanderbob
So this is an appropriate response? France kills barbarian murderers and ISIS kills civilians.
morpho4444
no... fuckin hate ISIS... First: go after them, kill them; Second: DO NOT BOMB SYRIA anymore

The only problem with your observation is that no Muslim militant has experienced total war from NATO yet. They will know when they do.

Yes, but an attack on a country's home soil affects the entire nation. So an attack like that is an attack on the nation as a whole.
BitchButcher
Praying affects only the people who pray. It helps them to feel OK after something bad happened.

A lot of people pray because they think there's some possibility that there's some force listening to them. If not, no harm done. I don't...

..pray or anything because no don't think theres anyone out there to hear it but its not hurting anyone to give it a shot just in case.
BitchButcher
History should taught those people there is no God protecting you or mankind from cruelties.
BitchButcher
I just think the reaction to an attack based on fundamental religious views shouldn't be a prayer!

And I'm guessing you don't think people should wear shirts because they wore shirts during the attack. Let people cope how they want.

And knowing that you couldn't do anything. War is hell. I'm not saying he was in the right, but think about yourself in that situation 2/3
zman007playr
Would you just continue on and watch more of your buddies die...lose friends and brothers?
RogueTampon
Women were raped and children were murdered. How do you sit there and claim love for your brother as a defense for it?
TheLastManOnEarthJustHeardAKnockOnHisDoor
I fear the Age of Leaders and Heros is long gone. But i do agree with you. the troops can be angry, so long as the leaders are wise.
gr8snd
Do you see what I just did? I led. Seek leaders who first seek peace.
BigUncleHeavy
People waving the imaginary "military stick" at a problem, and so shortly after Veteran's Day, is disrespectful to all of us who serve.

You're not a war monger, you're just honest and hopeful. Thanks :)

So, Did you sign up for the army then?
Quest4Life
Army really doesn't deploy into foreign wars. That's marine and navy territory. They may send engineers but that's about it.

Weird. - OP chose to ignore this comment.
TheLastManOnEarthJustHeardAKnockOnHisDoor

Starkregen
Of course not. OP is a 14 year old military enthusiast

Jack Nicholson knew what was up.

Jesus name one fucking war in the last 60 years that was just , that actually solved anything?
CaptainCIaw
Yugoslavia, Koreas etc.
HerschelKrane
You've just picked two of the most segmented and barren areas in the world. It would be laughable if it wasn't terrible.
CaptainCIaw
Yugoslavian war gave people freedom of choosing their future indepentently. Korean war saved milions from red terror. So yes, it solved st.
philosorapstar
Germany will show up at the very least because it was their football game.
tayodore

SilentReaperDash
German here.As I googled for what happened in France,3rd news I saw "DFB lost game against France shaded by attack" priorities in Germany..
Bassaker
I'am german and you Sir are right. We draw the line at football, also because the french are our Friends but goddam football you savages.
DEWilding
And they are always on time!
bezuer
Yes. Yes we are. +1 for the laugh
drpepperjunkie
This is hilarious and true. Don't fuck with European futbol
LeeeB
And people should not fuck with our only national sport.
ridge
US will show up because we love nothing more than avenging dead family.
TheLastManOnEarthJustHeardAKnockOnHisDoor
you have made me smile for the first time since hearing about the attacks. thank you good sir
thundercactus
If it makes you feel any better, the Germans will probably desecrate their dead.
opcomrade
Do not forget the service of Legion Etrengere that promised their loyalty for the country.
AlieOli
You don't piss off Merkel man, you just don't.....
PartTimeViking
I'm laughing, but I feel I might be doing so at the expense of my life... unless Merkel approves?
kkus
I think you misjudge Merkel's wrath. When she's angry, she will just give you more money and defer any payments due. Oh how will you survive
NightlinerSGS
I think you're misjudging too. That was just "angry at your little brother" like, you'll slap him but you don't really want to hurt him.
Ayxu22
i spat scrambled eggs over my desk - +1

What was the score?

Germans bring the best presents to these things too, it's going to be lovely.
Jakethasnake
I'm cry laughing for my beloved DEUTSCHLAND
DerpMeister
The german public is against war, the german politicians are afraid of hard decisions and the german laws make warefar virtually impossible.
DerpMeister
Furthermore, the german army is small, badly equipped and its soldiers are in large part not fit for war.
philosorapstar
Fascinating.
GrandMoonerino
Don't get between Germany and their football?
aeonicentity
No one fucks with German football and lives to tell the tale!
cinsoniTe
How was this Germany's game and not France's?
NotQuiteThere
Britain's going to show up as well, because it was football. I mean, there's dirty underhanded tricks, but doing it during the FOOTBALL?
CmdrNinja
Fucking swines. Never mess with the footy. CUNTS.
arandompenguin
Yeah, only FIFA is allowed dirty underhander tricks during football
philosorapstar
Plot twist. . .
TotallyNotJaimieLannister
The US will show up thinking "FOOTBALL? >:(" and then get very confused.
MrMusclePants
I know. it's just not cricket.
Madbuk
The fact that it occurred on the night of Children in Need is more sad to me than it being the night of a football match.
smaug777000
Hooligans show up in France
Bearhugger70
As an Englishman I'd say we'd be much more pissed if it has happened during a rugby game. Footy is one thing. Rugby is king.
WellIThinkImFunny
As an American female collegiate rugger, yeah.
mahapatih
British acting like it owns football... when was the last time you won the world cup?
sparkydonteatmycakeyoustupidcat
Wow what a dick thing to say!
NotQuiteThere
That's not the important thing, the important thing is the sanctity of football.
tomyironmane
I'm American. We don't really get football yet. Tell the rednecks "Open season on terrorists, no bag limit" though, and we'll be there.
tomyironmane
Different sports for different sorts and all.
Krewnikoshea
There's not enough up votes I can give you
Unicornzebraunderwear
US will show up because a) war and b)that one time France helped us out in every war we've been in ever.
GandalfsLawyer
WW1 was for Lafayette, WW2 was for Rochambeau, and now for De Grasse
Krewnikoshea
Honestly we don't need a different reason other than war I mean you know 'murica
Donkey1521
+1 for a) war. We love us some war. Not sure why but 'Merica!
Aelinsaar
Especially given our dismal track record!

US has never fought a war against France.
TheMrBadger
Technically, the French Indian was was Britain Vs France, but the colonies (US) was the battleground and some troops. (1)
JoyfulDay
Technically we were a colony, and not US.
TheMrBadger
Exactly, but it was still in the Ohio Valley, and some of the soldiers became men who helped form the U.S. I thought it should be mentioned

Minor disagreement between Diplomats that got out of hand. France requested a second envoy, and we obliged, leading to an French-US Alliance
