    Hi!

    I got my hand on a french-made war movie last night. It was, of course, in french with english subtitles. Nice story, follows the escapades of moroccan/algerian (I not really sure which) farmers/shepherds who enlisted in the french army from Algiers all the way to alsace. Itś interesting that even in fighting a just war together, there were still discrimination in the army. My favorite line was this wan spoken by the actor playing moroccan/algerian soldier ¨ we fight the same battles, we all get a tomato.¨ :)
