    Dude, I loved this book. I can't recommend it enough. Joel underrates himself as a writer.

      Agreed! Joel did an amazing job with both of his books yet he remains very humble about it.

    After getting out of the US Navy I wanted to join the French Foreign Legion. This was my dream growing up in Maisons Alfort outside of Paris. Instead, the US Navy was assigned to the 7th Fleet. Met several French sailors in the Pacific. They had the homoerotic shorts I have seen in my life.

      @@user-dh6yy9sk9p J'ai servi 8 ans dans la Légion, au 2ème REP et aussi au 3ème REI. Les tests d'entrée à la Legion ne sont pas si difficiles, plutôt simple même, test cooper, 50 m de natation, quelques pompes et traction. C'est après que c'est plus difficile quand tu es affecté en régiment, par exple le stage CEFE au 3ème REI, je l'ai fait et effectivement c'était pas facile mais ce n'est pas non plus impossible, je suis un homme ordinaire et pas un athlète. Par contre, au sein de la Légion, au 2ème REP, il existe les GCP qui sont eux un groupe spécial, l'élite et là effectivement il faut être plus fort, ils sont selectionnés parmi les meilleurs du régiment.

    Don't mess with legionaires - they have learned self respect and self discipline - which is why they go through you or over you...never around you.

    Fascinating. We've never met but we've moved a bit in similar circles (not the Legion) and know some people in common in BC. Regretfully, I have yet to read either book... but I plan to.

      As I understand they are for foreign policy enforcement. Plus it would be a bad look for the legion to beat up civilians.

      No, Legionnaires are like other french soldiers they are in the military. It's the police duty to face domestic violence, and believe me they are very good for this and well trained, the problem is not the police, they can break any crowd but it's a politic choice to not send the police.
