France Announces Troop Deployment
World news.
President Jacques Chirac announced today that France would be
deploying two elite units of French troops to Iraq in the event of
war. Five hundred crack troops from the 42nd Groupement d' Instruction
en Abandonment (42nd Surrender Instruction Group) are mobilizing to
assist the Iraqi Army in the finer points of military surrender.
"The immediate capitulation of an armed force is a delicate and
intricate tactic in which we French have much experience." said
Defense Ministry spokesperson General de Armee Francois-Phillippe
Hommes de Petit-Pommes.
"There is a certain protocol in laying down your arms or fleeing the
battlefield. To wave the white flag while remaining pompous and
insufferable requires experience and training.
The French Army believes it is second to none in the fine art of
surrendering quickly. The record of our armed forces in that area
speaks for itself. The Iraqi performance in giving up without a fight
during the last Gulf War was slip-shod. We hope to improve their level
of surrender execution for the next war."
General Hommes de Petit-Pommes further announced that 1,000 advisors
from the Regiment de Collaborateurs Francais will also be dispatched
to Iraq to assist the Iraqi people in colloborating effectively with
any occupation force.
