The French Foreign Legion participated in the Gulf War under Operation Daguet, which was part of the coalition forces’ effort to liberate Kuwait from Iraqi occupation. The Legion force, made up of 27 different nationalities, was attached to the French 6th Light Armoured Division whose mission was to protect the Coalition’s left flank. The ground offensive began after a four-week air campaign, and the Legion quickly penetrated deep into Iraq, taking the As-Salman Airport with little resistance. The war ended after a hundred hours of ground fighting, resulting in very light casualties for the Legion. Operation Daguet: French operation during the Gulf War aimed at capturing the Al Salman Air Base. Division Daguet: Provisional division formed in September 1990 in Saudi Arabia, composed of units from more than 25 regiments. As-Salman Airport: Target of the Legion’s offensive, taken on the afternoon of February 25, 1991. French 6th Light Armoured Division: Division to which the Legion was attached, tasked with protecting the Coalition’s left flank. Air Campaign: Four-week air operation preceding the ground offensive. Ground Offensive: Coalition forces’ rapid advance into Iraq, with the Legion playing a significant role. Casualties: Nine French soldiers killed during the operation, including two before and five after the beginning of the conflict.

LEMMY SOCIAL NETWORK:

There is such a thing as morality and ethics.

Do you have a stand with the 1st amendment or do you sway with money?

if she told you you were her only, then yes you should be upset and leave her. she took her sexual temporary wants over life as a whole. her loss.

if you are more progressive. then who cares? if you truly love your wife, thats even cooler a guy was able to fuck her and make her feel amazing. its not a knock on you. its okay.

Zero reasoning given. Funny as i have voted democrat in every election for every position possible since 2004 Both local and beyond.

who knows. americans are very removed from the actions of their own government.

It’s like talking to Germans in 1965 if Nazism never fell. Just completely in their own isolated weird world.

but alas, the mods of Lemmy know better. no need for actual discussion, let’s just amplify division and promote bullshit to oppose the bullshit of fox and the rogan universe.

its shameful this place censors actual conversations from fear of the obvious result of those conversations.

lets be real. these websites are run by capitalists. and are used by intelligence agencies to override with bot likes.

Where should it be? Other than in US news to inform their own citizens where their taxes go? If its not news. Should it be in Politics? Econ? Since it effects the life if every humans alive? is that not news? especially since to them, its news knowing how much their government takes from them while invading foreign countries and funding foreign proxy wars?

Communist regimes are identified as the most murderous, with an estimated 148 million people killed by Communist democide from 1900 to 1987, revised upward due to additional information about the Great Chinese Famine. Fascist regimes, though less durable, still accounted for about 27.8 million deaths during the same period. Democratic governments also contributed to this total, particularly through actions like indiscriminate bombing during World War II, which resulted in significant civilian casualties. The breakdown of these killings includes various types of democide, such as forced labor, concentration camp victims, extrajudicial summary killings, and mass deaths due to governmental acts of criminal omission and neglect, such as famines. This total of 262 million deaths does not include battle deaths from wars and excludes post-1987 democides by regimes such as Iraq, Iran, Burundi, Serbia, Bosnia, Sudan, Somalia, and others. The data highlight the significant role of government power in mass killings and emphasize the importance of fostering freedom and democracy to prevent such atrocities.

Okay dude do you REALLY believe the goal is to kill all muslims from Israel?

Bro. I am an American living in Europe. I dont „work for netanyahu“

THIS behavior and comment is exactly why I think people on this site are antisemetic.

French military was in the „coalition of the willing“ … on the same team as the US army and IDF in killing Islamic people in the middle east. on the same vein, that fact has nothing that refutes the post lol.

US was seeking to make Iraq a stable US-friendly regime.

i cannot understand possibly what in your brain is telling you they weren‘t. thats identical to israels intent with gaza. identical.

talking blindsided terror attacks justifying wars, what about 9/11 warning? US engaged in a 20+ yr occupation, genocide, etc causing DIRECTLY over 2 million civilians dead and displaced.

why do you give the US a pass? and crucify israel over 100k dead?

what literally is the difference to you? why are you not online being anti-USA? they killed at minimum over 10x more civilians after 9/11

bro you literally started your comment with an ad hom and you wanna Police my speaking style? okay.

how has what israel has done to hamas since oct 7th is worse than what the US army unleashed on iraq/syria from 2002-current?

100% that was the intent. us got involved in iraq and afghan to combat islamic influence and retaliate for 9/11.

israel is attacking hamas and palestinian people the exact same way.

americans voted for and are culpable for the actions commited by their leaders in iraq and afghanistan, which caused millions of civilian deaths and casualties based on their government actions.

to criticize the actions of israel as an american is now at best hypocritical. and if people are calling for restricting human rights (travel for israelis like Gal Gadot) then they must accept restrictions of american citizens travel for the impact their government had on civilians lives in Iraq and Afghanistan.
