Weaponology: French Foreign Legion (1/5)

"The Légion étrangère is a unique elite unit within the French Army established in 1831. The Legion has survived three republics, one empire, two World Wars, the rise and fall of mass conscript armies, the dismantling of the French colonial empire and, finally, the loss of its birthplace, Algeria."

rybear: the ss weren`t anything special, just a fanatic paramilitary organization devoted to following any order Hitler barked out.
compared to spetsnaz and French Foreign Legion, those guys were a bunch of pussies.
besides, why would you want them to show you nazi scum anyway?

It`s also worth noting, rybear, that during the early years of WWII -everyone- got "rocked". Besides, the French Foreign Legion isn`t the regular French army. It`s a relativity small group separate from the standard army. To put it in perspective for you, does the royal clobbering the British received in 1940 make the SAS any less bad ass? I think not! So hush and enjoy the video.

I would give it a higher score if it didn`t sound like the narrator had shit himself. Less "war is cool" attitude please.

Is it funny that the greatest soldiers in the French Army aren`t French?

^Yea, the reason why the French Foreign Legion is so good is because the guys in it aren`t French xD

are you having a laugh? true i dont doubt they dont fear anybody, as their soldiers its kinda the point,
but comparing the legion to the marines is like comparing a PS3 to an atari 2600, sorry m8 but the marines may have been bad ass once apon a time, but now? ffs i wouldnt even compare them to british army regulars, not even close!! (and marines are supposed to be elite!!)

as someone alread said about the SS,

"just a fanatic paramilitary organization devoted to following any order Hitler barked out."

change that to bush and you have a pretty fair description of the marines!!
