French Special Forces in Kandahar

The Toronto Star has an article about French Special Forces who have been operating in Kandahar.
They had big black beards, big warm smiles. They had a dozen young Afghan army trainees in tow, each with a grin to match. They didn't even have flak jackets, let alone a speck of armour on the two brown pickup trucks that kept their show on the road.

They were French special forces, in an especially dodgy part of Afghanistan, where the French supposedly don't go. And they'd been there a while.
