Why? there French
Well, the FAQ section does state that if someone wants French citizenship, he must no longer have problems with the authorities.

Well, maybe not. The Legion does have an elite status, and so would be attractive to those who wanted to be the best. And i believe that it is no longer a haven for criminals and those simply wishing to get away.

I would presume that a French National without a criminal record would volunteer first for the regular armed services.
Perhaps only Foreign Legion officers and key senior enlisted would be French.

Sprue-ce Goose Unless the rules have changed recently, the French Foreign Legion does not restrict recruitment to French Nationals.

You are correct, sir!
Bish RESlusher: And the Germans a couple weeks to turn them to quivering masses of jello? I'm just teasing though. I met a couple legionaires once. Those were some real bad-a$$es. But were they French.

Took the British, Russians, Spanish, Prussians, Austrians and a number of lesser states from 1803 till 1815 to finally defeat the French revolutionary army.
Today's study question, boys and girls...
Why is the Champs Elysees lined with trees???
So the Germans can march in the shade!!
not me!
The french never got this close to the enemy, they always waved the white flags from a distance!
Well I will say the picture in the link did make me chuckle. But that aside, lots of people from lots of sides assumed the same position.
Does it matter?
Well, i am sure most of us have perceptions about certain countries, sometimes for good reason, sometimes not. Guess thats human nature.
rightly or wrongly
