One thing that always stood out for me regarding those boys, is their ability to go without love, for like 5 years or somethin!

i personally, dont think i could cut that.

Are you sure you don't mean leave :o

Their mums will still love them even if they don't know where they are.

From the video it looks as if they can go out (on the p*ss/pull) if they get back for 6AM Roll call...if thats the sort of loving you were thinking about :P

I dont think that matters.

I'm sure you'll learn bloody fast if you went in.

The problem i find with it is, why the hell would you want to fight, and probably die for France :roll:


The mind boggles.

"Swims of up to eight kilometres in full kit are also a part of amphibious assault practice."

Erm........the legion are good at what they do, no doubt. But as for swimming 8 km in full kit.................hmmm.......................

They must be friggin super soldiers.............

Anyway, their uniform is crap.......and they have to speak French :(

Have some respect dude, just because the American foreign policy is complete shit doesn't mean you can talk crap about others countries, mainly France and Germany who knew what the f@#k they were doing and dind't buy into the american crap. Ohhhh poor 9/11 this and 9/11 that. Get over it you bunch of pussy's, Israel has a 9/11 everyday and we dont see them crying about it as much as the US...but then again I cant blame your ignorance and arrogance solely on you.

I think you should watch what you say yumix.

While it may be true that America is quite emotional about 9/11...i wonder how you would react if it happened to your family?

France and Germany only hold onto UN ideals because they know it leads to more power for themselves, respectively.

In any European countries hay-day, they would of told the UN to feck off. America simply doesn't have to listen to the UN, nor should it, imo.

Why should a republic listen to a body governed by a bunch of third worlders and terrorist supporters?

I think you should keep your tongue in your cake hole where it belongs, before someone shuts that cake hole for you.

It is a long tradition that the UK (mainly England) and France are enemies, and its still a joke today to have a pop at the French now and then. Don't take it personally. Besides, what does it matter to you, you are from South Africa.
