What is the French Foreign Legion?
The French Foreign Legion is a unique arm of the French military which accepts volunteers of any race, creed, or nationality. The Foreign Legion is considered to be an integral part of the French army, and it accompanies other military members on missions using the same equipment and goals. Members of the Foreign Legion range from 17 to 40 in age, and come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Most members of the Foreign Legion join because they have been captivated by the mystique of the organization, which is known world wide, although imperfectly understood.
