So today was Bastille Day in France. Total coincidence I'm here on their national holiday. It was cool to see all their jets fly over head streaming their national colors. Helicopters and other fireworks followed. There was a parade of military vehicles and police. I've got to say though, their military kind of blows. No wonder they can't keep their people in line or protect their borders. We've bailed them out of 3 wars I can name off the top of my scaley little head but I wouldn't be surprised if it were more. Honestly! Granted we fat americans spend an absurd amount of money on our military, but tractors? In a military parade? That can't really be the best you've got. I saw more sophisticated hardware in farms out in Louisiana. They had tractors, ancient jeeps, and a bunch of Nam era artillery and vehicles. My jaws pack more power than some of their assault vehicles. Ridiculous. Not a single stealth bomber or Apache helicopter, there were a few ancient tanks but they were massively out numbered by 88' VW trucks with 50mm guns taped to the top. There was a single modern military hummer and lord were the ones riding that one smiling! Other than the parade though (Which took 2 hours to pass a mile and a half :/) it was a wonderful day.
The Arc de Triomphe is amazing! Massive and so intricately carved everywhere. Too many man parts if you ask me though. I swear, does a military tribute really need that many exposed phalluses? I've heard of the military being the cock and balls of a country but geeze at least put on some boxers! =P Well enough of that. Off for more tasty french food! Au revoir!
