The Australian Infantry of the Royal Australian Regiment were the only soldiers the VC and the NVA were literally scared of. I know this was nearly 100 years later but the war kept going for the the Vietnamese!! Not to mention the Australian SAS whom the Vietnamese called "The Phantoms of the Jungle"!! A lot of the tunnels they dug then were the same used in the Vietnam war. After the Battle of Long Tan the VC and NVA were instructed to "never contact the long rifles" (the name the called us because we used the SLR or FN-FAL). Sorry way out of context here but this all led up to the Vietnam war when the Communists from China started to take over.

South Korean were also feared by the Communist Vietnamese

The French foreign legion, one of the most combat Harden experienced military units that exist today

[@heofonfyr6000]

Not really...
That's in the past now.
Today they are nowhere near cutting edge.

[@Rocinante2300]

Have you ever considered joining the French Foreign Legion?

[@HistoryUncovered]

No..should I? ;)

[@djm24able]

@@HistoryUncovered what made ya come back brother??

[@derekbates4316]

After listening to this, would you?

[@heofonfyr6000]

I did a joint exercise with them once... they were abysmally poor. To call them amateurs would be an understatement.
They seemed to have not evolved in any meaningful way for generations.
I felt like I was transported back to the 1960s...

[@coreystockdale6287]

Ah remember kids if you can't use your own citizens just recruit foreign ones.
