About DBP you went to the wrong country, you must have gone to Vietnam.
LOL

I'll keep that in mind the next time I travel to France! Although the IRS would have waaaaay too much fun with me when I return!

As for DBP, it was easy to get info from the Vietnamese (on the other hand explaining to my boss why I was contacting the Viet Military Attache was lots of fun...NOT!). Although I have to admit I was really surprised at the atitude they displayed, certainly not what I expected, even offered to arrange a tour of the battlefield if I traveled to Vietnam, an offer that I make take up some day.

The French Army on the other hand....I was left with the distinct impression that the next combat operation by the Paras would be directed against the hotel I was staying at!!!

Ah well!
