Sure they do.  They have tanks that even have 5-speed transmissions.  4 for Reverse and 1 for forward in case they are attacked from behind!

yes, UFOss are real. the military of several other countries have come out and said they exist.  i dont know if the US gov had any encounters. But, i believe world govs do cover it up. if it comes out that they exist it would dissapprove many of the beliefs that make up  our world's societies. for example; religion.

Isn't that the national Anthem for France?

Large standing army with good training systems learned from the West. Russian equipped now so the usual AK47's AK 74, shoulder launched rockets etc.\n\nSpecial forces are numerous and built along SAS / Delta principles but not as disciplined.\n \nSubstantial airforce with modern fighter planes, including Iraqs airforce which went to Iran in the first Gulf War to stop the US detroying it and then they never gave it back. Mostly Russian aircraft including Mig 29 interceptors. Some French aircraft. \n\nSmall navy but modern missile patrol boats and Frigates courtesy of the French again. Excocet missiles from the French.\n\nLots and lots of medium range missile systems similar to and including Scud.\n\nLots of poison gas and chemical weapons, which they happily used on the Iraquis.  \n\nFrom an experience perspective they fought an 8 year war against Iraq 20 years ago which was extremely bloody and costly. Interestingly neither side won any territory and it was a stalemate even after 8 years of very nasty fighting so you could assume that they are similar in fighting capability to the Iraquis.

What do you mean by this? Almost every European country has got army and conventional forces. If you mean US conventional forces in Europe- there are many troops in Germany and US government is signing contracts with other countries like Bulgaria and romania for joint training operations.

Yeah, that's a good point. They do have a military force, but they seemed more like a police force to me than an army. I think they're actually called the National Guard, but in Kuwait that has different connotations than it does here in the US.\n\nIf they're a puppet government, then who's pulling the strings? And don't say George Bush. We've heard enough from those people.

Whew, that took some looking.\n\nIt was established in 1798 to prepare for war with France.\n\n(thanks I learned something, I didn't think there was a difference between the navy and the department of the navy.)

That was funny, Suicidesquad!LMAO!  Do they have a military? Hey wait a minute! They have Swiss Miss Cocoa! They can heat it up and throw it in their enemies faces and corkscrew their eyeballs out when those little mini-marshmallows get stuck in their eyelashes! And don't forget the Swiss watches. I bet they're really punctual. Ooh, and chocolate too! LOL. Actually, the Swiss have the right idea! Peace is a good thing but they aren't usually called upon to help other countries with military problems like we are because we have the resources, our soldiers are amongst the finest in the world, and we have the military equipment. Switzerland keeps to itself but who can blame them? The HAVE lived in peace for centuries.

Hot air.  The French will back down if actually challenged militarily.  (If they do not simply surrender.)

In a word yes.\n\nEvery year the German military has to make public what weapons are where and they have a 100,000 soldier troop limit (That is for their whole military, Coast Guard, Army, Navy and Airforce.).\n\nBefor the Balkans wars the German peoples had added into their constitution that they would not leave their borders with military might. But in Kosovo and Afganistan the German People voted to go and aid their allies.\n\nThe German Armed forces are well trained, well equipted and just a bunch of all around good folks. In many places they are treated like war criminals but they do a great job for humanity and get no recognition for it at home or abroad. But much like the U.S. Soldiers they are patriots who have vowed to defend freedom through out the world.

and the french have had to be bailed out of every war since world war 1 because every one knows that they are cowards and won't fight even to save their lives or country. the reason it is so nice in france is that a lot of good American and British men died so you can sip your wine and insult America.\nyou are an a$$

It's much easier to get a list of countries France does have an extradition treaty with and then look for countries not on the list. Such a list is at the site below.
