An 81-year-old Frenchman has been given a one-year suspended jail sentence for firing a hunting rifle at helicopters dropping water on a forest blaze.

Just to knock down the perception of French as pacifist .

They have lot's of hunters and are generally armed.

Never thought they were pacifists.. just not terribly good at successfully making war.. without Napoleon, that is.
