Vive la France
I found this article of A FRENCH SOLDIER'S VIEW OF US SOLDIERS IN AFGHANISTAN. It is sometimes nice to know what the rest of the World is thinking when they see our military...I might have to cut the French some slack in the future...sorry just can't do it, maybe someday?

Sam Green, not your normal French name?
Sam, I served with a soldier who joined the Légion étrangère after between his time in the US ARMY...he said the Legion the toughest training he had experienced and that was an airborne infantryman in our Army. I do remember that he did provide proof that he did do some of what he said, but I don't remember what that was today. I always have a bit a doubt in any soldier's story.

Dear MSG Sand,
As strange as it could seem, Sam Green is my real name. I was borned and raised in France from US parents, and now I am pursuing a commission through ROTC.
I have a lot of friends in the French Armed forces, and they all have had very good relationships with their American counterparts.
The Legion Etrangere is a very interesting place. The prestige is somehow equivalent to our Marines, plus the "special recruiting criteria". When someone decides to join the Legion, he knows he'll fight. I remember the story about the West Point graduate that deserted his unit to enlist. He then became apart of a general detail, with outstanding evaluations. However, should it raise ethical concerns ? How far could a deserter be trusted ? This laissez faire is a double edge sword, and far outcomes one of the most important Army value to me: loyalty.
