Yesterday, I watched an American produced television show on the French Foreign Legion and it was very complimentary of it's view of the French armed forces - and man, those guys serving in it were tough! They also seemed to me to be well trained, and absolutely fanatically loyal to France and the French cause. They seemed to be absolutely the last group you'd want to fight against - when the going got really tough. They even entered the corps knowing ahead of time they faced a 10% mortality rate - per tour! The Legion seemed to fight in places where no one else wanted to dare go. Talk about fearless soldiers!
I saw that as well, good program. It even showed two Americans who were willing to serve in the Legion. Times Discovery I believe.
