Indeed. On the rare occasion a French officer is leading the charge, they can pivot quickly towards the rear. As they run back towards their men, they are easily identifiable. And so it begins.
It’s my understanding that the French have four military threat levels. Similar to most countries, however they do not use colors. Red, Amber etc.
From lowest to highest:
1. Run,
2. Hide,
3. Surrender,
4. Collaborate.
Too soon ?
