Coalition troops are gathered in order to fight the Taliban. The American, British and French commanders are discussing the relative worth of their troops.
"You guys are fucking pussies compared to the US military." says the American officer. "Allow me to demonstrate." He beckons a Marine over and punches him as hard as he can in the face, removing a few of his teeth. The Marine flinches but shouts "Ooh Rah! Thank you sir!" before being dismissed.
"Impressive, but our lads are afraid of nothing." says the British officer. He beckons a Gurkha over, grabs his left arm and breaks it in one smooth motion. "Thank you sir! God save the Queen." replies the Gurkha with a pained expression, before being dismissed.
The French officer is somewhat nervous at this point as he doubts his poorly-equipped men are as tough as what he has just witnessed. Nevertheless, he is determined not to lose face in front of his colleagues. He beckons an infantry soldier over. Not knowing what to do, he pulls out his handgun and shoots the soldier in the foot. To his amazement, the soldier doesn't move at all or show any sign of pain. "Uh... you have served the Republic well. Dismissed!" mumbles the officer. The soldier leaves, seemingly unperturbed. The American and British officers are highly impressed and congratulate the French officer for having such brave troops.
Later that day, the French officer sees the soldier again. He asks him : "How in the hell did you manage to take a bullet like that and walk away?"
"Well, sir," the soldier replies, "they didn't have shoes my size when I signed up..."
