  This is one of those movies I cannot in good conscience recommend to anyone I care about, despite it being a brilliant movie. And most the people in my life would be too horrified to sit through it, I don’t know what that says about me. But god it’s brilliant, and it isn’t violence just for violence. The characters are so complex, except her husband whose just a shit who got what he deserved

  If sometimes, in the jungle where the tiger passes And where the canons are no longer thundering You feel a finger touching your shoulder If you hear your name called Légionnaires who rest in faraway lands And whose blood shed gives me remorse Tell yourselves, simply : this is our Capitaine Who remembers us... and who counts his dead.

  I think the forces, armies of any kind have a history of attracting people that have lost their way in life and need a sense of purpose, stability or discipline. Foreign Legion as mentioned seemed to have a good reputation internationally so I can see why people would join it over say...Scottish or English Armies. I guess it's like moving away to another country to work. You could stay in your home country and get a job, or you can try elsewhere for the adventure and experience.

  I can only imagine what it would be like to be in the French foreign legion. I’m a way it’s like how the Americans are where you have every different nationality from all over the world who came to America, and they had to learn how to get along with each other, and of course there was so much prejudiced. If the Americans could’ve got along with each other, which they did, but it took so much time with the French for allegiant, you leave that shit at the door, and no matter what your father told you your uncle or best friend said about different nationalities, and the French foreign legion you over come that presidency. I salute every French foreign legion personnel from the cooks to the lowest man I think the world would learn a lot from the French foreign legion.

  Every veteran’s journey starts by taking the oath. Throughout my 26 years of service, one experience remains etched in my memory like no other - the profound impact of combat. If you recognize a veteran during your daily activities, take a moment to make a connection with them. Veterans have merit and they’re waiting for you to discover them by asking and listening to their stories. In turn, you’re bridging a gap of much-needed connection and awareness. With a short walk you can even find a few Veterans living here within your own community around the world.

  Nothing wrong with that at all. The Nepali soldiers, Gurkhas, are globally renowned as some of the finest, fiercest, bravest soldiers on this planet. If France have a regiment of them, I guarantee you, any enemy commander would be gravely worried about that regiment. Gurkhas are PHENOMENALLY good soldiers.

  I had a [US] Army buddy who ended up joining the Legion. We served together in Central America back in the bad old days of Reagan-era gunboat diplomacy and he got out just afterwards. He never really 'made it all the way home', so to speak, and had a hard time on Civvie Street. Then he sells everything, catches a flight to Paris and joined the Legion. We kept in touch off and on [Christmas cards and whatnot] and at my last hearing of him [late 90s] he was a Mareschal de logis in the 1'er REC. Because of him, I've read more than a little bit on French military history.
