14 Juillet!

[zrath]

Bonjour!
It's the Quatorze Juillet today, aka Bastille Day.
I usually post a clip from the annual military parade in Paris and today is no exception.
However, I found a rather unusual and interesting clip.
France still has overseas territories, including Polynesian islands.
For the first time ever this year, a detachment of the Polynesian French Army performed
the traditional Haka war taunt at the parade this year.
Check this out!

I dare you to make fun of the French Army again.

Actually, I've never made fun of the French Army. Monty Python's Flying Circus did....

Awesome!

I love watching the Hakas. I think it should be more widely taught!

We had a bunch of kids from the poorer parts of town, and I think it would have been fun to introduce the boys to the Haka. They'd have been all over it!
