Any French Speakers Tell If This Is Legit?

[Spock]

Not sure where I ran across the English version of this but some American (not French) trolls want to claim it is fake of course. Just curious if anyone can tell if it is legit? Thanks in advance.

Hey @Spock I read the article a few weeks ago. Here it is translated.

Thanks Griz...I found the French link from that warriorlodge post but since some dudes are claiming it was faked, I'm checking with our French speaking brothers/sisters here.

That is an awesome article. I was thinking when I saw all the positive stuff I thought yep that's us and that's exactly why I miss being deployed.

Hey @Spock

Here is another reference to the article. You have me questioning its validity now after reading many of the comments.

I was in a French hospital in the GW1. Nothing but good to say about the guys and ladies I met there and was treated by. Top notch.

I had the honor to train with french naval commandos years ago, those guys are hardcore warriors, and can chug some booze too. Respect.

I'm not questioning the validity, I'm trying to verify it. My civilian French friends read it and to them it simply is from a French ally that served with Americans and this was his assessment. Since we're an international group, hopefully we have someone that can make there own assessment from a military background.

Tracking now.

Spock,

I'm a French speaker from way back. This reads like someone who has done a tour recently on a French OMLT and wants his teammates to tighten up their shot group and take care of business. I worked a lot with the French assigned to CJTF Phoenix on my first tour and crossed paths with them some on my second. This has the right ring to it.

Google Translate does a passable job with it.

Tracert , network certificates and ping off server, legit. WhoIS archive legit.

However original is defunct, so not able to verify convincingly to my personal standards.
