Money appears to be tight everywhere these days. Very interesting article.

It will be interesting to see, what rifle/s the French military adopt as a replacement to the FAMAS.

Not by the same author. This guy is a real live Frenchman.

Here's is the prior thread on Le Clarion:

Interesting read. They really ARE screwed up apparently.

That is one ugly assault rifle! It looks like a plastic movie prop. What do the people of France expect their soldiers to do? That is the ineptitude of the Socialist way; no money for National Defence. Every franc/euro goes to the cradle to grave care of the parasites. No wonder France is so jacked up!

How is it jacked up?
Im sure you're an expert on French politics and economy.
Actually lots of money is spent on National Defence, being the third nuclear power in the world and fighting a war since 2003 doesn't come cheap.
But well im sure you're an expert on French military as well.

The story was well worth reading, especially this:

...the rifle is idiot proof, but even idiots have their limits...

I'm sure this will work its way into my list of clever things to say should the situation arrive..
