Also fyi, the Legion has powerful intell services who do their job constantly (in connection with Interpol, foreign countries intell agencies, etc) , involved from the selection, all along and afterwards (leaving the Legion, but once legionnaire, always legionnaire, so...). Regarding the "opportunists", there are people trying with these light motivations, but once in they never make it, the selections and trainnings week after week and facing they actually will put their lives on the line is just too hard (all along a minimum of 5 years commitment, no joke). The Legion is for the true Warriors, not for simple opportunists nor for empty heads mercenaries. They really stick to their motto: Honor and Loyalty. Honneur et Fidélité.

Every one enlist in something for a reason, the Legion is mostly for guys who don't have many choices. Your past makes a huge difference. Check the retirement average and you will see there is not much to motivate anyone to do this for a carrier.

Wow! Your channel is truly living up to its name with this incredible video on "Why Do Men From All Over the World Want to Join the Foreign Legion?" This immersive documentary takes us deep into the heart of the French Foreign Legion, revealing the intense physical and mental challenges these volunteers face as they strive to become part of this elite unit. From the moment the recruits willingly step into the Legion's world, we are taken on a journey that explores their diverse backgrounds and motivations. The raw emotions and personal sacrifices they make are palpable, making this documentary not just a visual spectacle but a profound exploration of the human spirit. The video provides a glimpse into the rigorous training, the emotional struggles, and the life-changing decisions these men must make. The attention to detail in capturing every moment, from the challenging physical tests to the emotional farewells, paints a vivid picture of the Legion's demanding standards and the personal transformations its members undergo. The cinematography and storytelling are top-notch, allowing viewers to feel the intensity of each training session and the weight of every decision. As we witness the highs of success and the lows of failure, it becomes evident that this documentary is not just about the French Foreign Legion; it's about resilience, determination, and the pursuit of a new identity. Kudos to "Best Documentary" for delivering such an engaging and thought-provoking piece. This video not only educates viewers about the Foreign Legion but also prompts reflection on the universal themes of sacrifice, ambition, and the search for purpose. It's a powerful testament to the storytelling prowess of your channel. Keep up the fantastic work!

Most Special Forces in the world can't pass that test alone. The current US military could take some lessons from the Legion on how to attract bad ass candidates, but instead they wanna focus on making everyone feel self-important and respect their individuality. The exact opposite formula for a strong military that has the capability to kick the ass of anyone wanting to us or our allies harm. Individuals don't do well in the battle. Teams win battles, and ensure war is fought at the upmost level of effectiveness.

Military basic training is ALWAYS 100% physical... it don't matter if you have a masters degree or never graduated primary school... When I went to basic training in 1996 I thought it was a lot strict than what's shown on this video. Everything is single file line and everything's on a 90 degree angular movement and ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS on the 30 second or less time line whether it takes 1 minute or 30 minutes for everyone in the platoon to complete and the while waiting for the slower individuals, the faster ones are always doing push ups, sit-ups or flutter kicks LOL good times!!! I noticed really big difference between different military discipline though... although the US Military training used to be very strict, but it don't mean that the US training is better, it's just different...
