Do they live up to their reputation?

General Schwarzkopf was made an honorary PFC in the Foreign Legion in 1991. During the presentation he was told if he ever runs into any trouble anywhere in the world, to give them a call.

I used to work with a lady whose Son was in the 101st Airborne.

I was talking to him about the invasion of Iraq. His outfit along with the French Foreign Legion operated together in a sweep way to the left of the main attack.

One of the amusing stories he told was they were all eating supper and the Americans noticed the French were about to have a regular feast. Their officer went over to the French and after talking a bit, they swapped meals.

The FFL had MRE’s and the Americans, the feast. He said the French actually liked the MRE’s.
