WRT the difference between soldiers in Paris and Italy: "Finger close to the trigger" usually means a proper drill in trigger discipline - I'd take that anytime over "relaxed" soldiers.

From all the dozens of soldiers I've seen in France, since I live here, I've rarely seen finger close to the trigger. Even more, for most of the 3-man patrols, only one carried a loaded weapon.

I don't know why, I have never been to Italy neither France, but from the pop culture diet I've been fed, I'd rather be subjected to French soldiers AND police than their Italian counterpart. Commisar Montalbano, I'm sorry.
