<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Help me out here ... WHY would you want to join the French Foreign Legion?

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Thought about it long ago. You have to learn French and I wasn't that committed.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The rules have changed for them. They no longer take people trying to escape a shady past.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I didn't much care for the French when I visited France. So, I would have to pass on the Legion.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>10 years ago i joined FFL and did 5 months. At this point I was not US citizen. They have tough training and poor gear to make all this marches. Many guys joined because they had some issues at home. I suggest not to go there, cause US Army is the best and you have a lot of opportunities in the military to advance your career.
