France currently has the largest military in Europe, excluding Ukraine and Russia (and Turkey). By nominal troop strength, even when excluding the Gendarmerie paramilitary police (which would be combatants in wartime), they're slightly above Germany.
And, seriously, they've probably seen the most action of all European militaries except maybe the UK in the last two to three decades. Compared to the rest of Europe, they
are a juggernaut.
If you can find a source on that article, i'd be really interested in reading that btw.
