Toy soldiers…
Skin scorched, eyes stinging, breathes heavy as lead
They marched on for La république
They complied and didn’t complain!
but what did the “Republic” do to them in return?
Years of agony,
unknown ailments
families suffering,
and no compensation?
But why – for what?
all for the glory of scientific discovery -
of the “physiological and psychological effects of nuclear arms on man”!
To feed proof to the twisted high minds that spewed out the doctrine of nuclear deterrence!
To ensure that La république could launch a counterstrike after a freak nuke attack maims a part of it?
Are you aware!
Did you know?
That the French govt. may have knowingly exposed their soldiers to nuclear tests
These men are still fighting to get legislation passed**
To provide broader compensation
After years of suffering
But worse
The French carried out 17 nuclear tests in the Algerian Sahara in the 1960s.
They later switched testing to French Polynesia, where a further 193 tests were completed before it ended the practice in 1996. ***
Did they do the environmental clean-ups?
How did it affect the natives?
Who will speak for them?
Don’t you think its time to rethink the following lines
Aux armes, citoyens,
Formez vos bataillons,
Marchons, marchons !
for a righteous state
void of state inflicted violence.
** The French parliament approved a limited bill to compensate veterans last month.
