What physical traits does he have?

He's one of those shades of brown that no matter how many times you try, when you try to put it back in the 120 box set of Crayola Crayons according to order, it just never seems to look quite right.
You just can't peg him.

Those wily Germans.

From Family Guy, about The Rock:

"(..) the other's -- black. I think. At least part black. Or Hispanic. I think you know, there's possibly some Filipino in there. Yeah, possibly some Filipino. I mean, if he's—if he's black, it's definitely diluted. I mean, one of his parents must be white. What the hell is Jessica Alba for that matter?"

Well, if they were sailing from China it'd be on the way. Assuming the Panama Canal is closed to them.

Nothing particularly unusual or interesting about people cheering a French military victory.

Is the Foreign Legion there?

Is the Foreign Legion there?

Probably;  can't imagine an operation this big without them.

It is lucky the world press is not sniffing as hard for omg-outrages than they do with the US Army then, I guess. I hope France will succeed.

They are there. The first footage from the Airport back when this started were of Foreign Legion soldiers.

I keep thinking about how funny that is. Namely that the French get away doing the whole FL thing - arming a bunch of ex-maffia Russians and East Euros and giving them carte blanche to kill negroes.

I'd say that might change over time. After all, there was already whining about that skull mask.
