Friendly fire is not something "idiotic": it happens in any armed conflict, anytime, anywhere. Les risques du métier, as some (wiser) Frenchies would have it.
When stooopid Ricains shoot each other (or allies) in the firefight, Pepe thinks that's confirmation for his patented Ameriphobia. When Frenchies (or perhaps his beloved head-hackers) do it, it's oh, c'est la vie, or perhaps a tu quoque, as above. Just par for the course for Pepean logic.
Having said all that, and getting down to brass tacks, in an impartial way (not something Pepe could ever hope to do), this French operation was clearly botched (reminds me of that Greepeace ops in NZ sometimes ago, by some hapless French spooks). And we're not talking here about duking it out with the Talibans in their mountain strongholds in Afghanistan, but taking on a bunch of gangster pirates in a dinghy on the high seas, with destroyers and helicopters and fighter planes swarming all around them, for Chrissakes. I mean, duhhh, if the French, or the pinkoized Ricains can't do even this much to clear up the racaille, then we may as well pack it in, so that Pepe will ululate forever.

I learned from the idiots in Afghanistan.

At least the Frogs fired off some ammo.
A non-trivial happening. BTW, what kind of guns do they use in the French Army? BB?
