You are French, yes?

Ever look at the French record in East Africa?  Ever been to East Africa 
and seen for yourself?  I recommend Mali and Benin.  Then, of course, 
there was Indochina.  Where would the French have been without the 
hundreds of Waffen SS troops that joined the Legion Etrangere (sp?) from 
1945~1948?

Sometime at a nomikai, if you buy enough beer I can tell you about being 
out on patrol in the jungle for two and a half weeks in the summer of 
1973 and ending up having to cut through a French resort where there 
were hundreds of topless French and German women cavorting on the 
Vietnamese beaches ... to get back to our fire base.

Why don't you ask how many people died under the Japanese occupation? 
You'd be surprised at the number and the percentage of the total 
population.
