...I cracked up.

I don't know why it's so amusing, if it's the Heroic Soldier Pose Epic Fail, or if it's the text saying (in French) "the statue of a proud soldier", and you can see how PROUD he REALLY wants to show he IS with his arms up there like that, but... yeah. To prove further my point:





Thanks Bigger Photo for making it even funnier... with bigger details.


Still, Carnot's statue in Maubeuge is waaaaay funnier.

I had to. I just had to.
