Just saw a story about an open letter from French soldiers (some retired, others on active duty) to the president of the republic.
- The laws of the republic cannot be applied in certain towns and neighborhoods: 86%
- In France, violence grows day by day: 84%
- In France, a certain form of antiracism produces hatred between communities. 74%
- French society is in the process of breaking down: 73%
- The army should intervene without orders (from political leadership) to guarantee the order and security of France: 49%
- France will soon experience a civil war: 45%
Those numbers are kind of scary.
The soldiers will be disciplined for violating the French military principles of loyalty to the republic and partisan political neutrality.
On the other hand:
French poll: Majority support generals’ warning that “civil war” is close
A Harris Interactive poll of French citizens has found 58 per cent of respondents support a controversial warning.
Then I saw the Harris Poll on French society in which majorities (or hefty minorities) agree with what the French military letter-writers said.Our tricolor flags are not just pieces of cloth, they symbolize the tradition, through the ages, of those who, whatever their skin color or their faith, served France and gave their lives for it. … But our honor today lies in the denunciation of the disintegration/breakdown/crime which strikes our country.
- Breakdown which, through a certain anti-racism, is displayed with a single goal: to create on our soil a malaise, even hatred between the communities. …
- Breakdown which, with Islamism and the suburban hordes, leads to the detachment of multiple plots of the nation to transform them into territories subject to dogmas contrary to our constitution. But each Frenchman, whatever his belief or his non-belief, is everywhere at home in France; there cannot and must not exist any city, any district where the laws of the Republic do not apply.
- Breakdown because hatred takes precedence over brotherhood during demonstrations where the power uses the police as a proxy and scapegoat in the face of French people in yellow vests expressing their despair.
… We, servants of the Nation, who have always been ready to risk our skin in battle -… cannot be passive spectators in the face of such actions.
… If nothing is done, [there will be] an explosion and the intervention of our active comrades in a perilous mission of protecting our civilizational values and safeguarding of our compatriots on the national territory.
Tomorrow a civil war will put an end to this growing chaos,
