“Their presence in Iraq is strictly within the framework of the fight against terrorism. The war in Iran cannot justify such attacks,” Macron said in a post on X.

My dude no matter how you frame it, those soldiers were militants in a war zone. If you dont want your soldiers to die in a foreign war, then dont put them there.

It's sad to hear, but at this point those soldiers are just collateral damage. Their presence was enough to make them a target. Condemn US attacks, don't provide them with any logistical, moneyary or material support and then this whining would be a real complaint.
