Years ago, during Operation Manta in Chad, the French Foreign Legion had been staging out of Bangui, CAR. The Legion has long been active all over Africa. Their east African training base is in Djibouti, which is now our Horn of Africa HQS in the GWOT.

Based on what I know of the French Foreign Legion, I bet they had more favorable rules of engagement than our troops in that region have.

True enough. The Legion isn’t known for pussy-footing around their enemies.
