⚓️ [Les marins] "font le choix d’être en moyenne 152 jours hors de leur foyer chaque année. Que ce soit au large ou près des côtes, dans le gros temps de l’Atlantique ou sur les flots du Pacifique, ils assurent la protection de la France et des Français." @amiralVandier #LPM
🇫🇷 "Compte tenu de l’immensité des espaces à protéger, gagner la guerre avant la guerre suppose de nous déployer régulièrement, d’entretenir une interopérabilité forte et de haut niveau avec nos partenaires et de montrer nos capacités à intervenir dans les domaines de pointe."

Was the #Greek #Hero #Perseus born of a #Virgin?
Um, #No, and here is why.
Some have made comparisons between the similarities between Perseus and Jesus' conceptions (even Justin Martyr), yet all are erroneous, considering that in Perseus' case, Zeus came to his mother disguised as a shower of gold...and in that form had SEX with her.
In other
versions, Proteus has sex with her (again, SEX!), and there is no indication of a shower of gold disguise in that account.
