Several French former soldiers have joined the ranks of jihadists fighting in Syria and Iraq, the country’s government confirmed on Wednesday, as it outlined a series of new anti-terrorism measures following the Islamist attacks in Paris.
Most of the ex-soldiers, reportedly numbering around 10 and including former paratroopers and French foreign legionnaires, are said to be fighting on behalf of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
Most worrying is the reported presence of an ex-member of France’s elite First Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment, considered one of Europe’s most experienced special forces units and which shares the “Who Dares Wins” motto of the SAS.
The unnamed individual, of North African origin, had received commando training in combat, shooting and survival techniques. He served for five years before joining a private security company for which he worked in the Arabian peninsula, where he was radicalised before heading for Syria, according to L’Opinion, a news website.
One of the defectors had become the leader of a group of a dozen or so French-born Islamists operating in the Syrian region of Deir Ezzor who had all received combat training, reported Radio France International, or RFI.
Others, apparently in their twenties, were explosive experts. Some were Muslim converts while others were radicalised French from an “Arab-Muslim” background, said RFI.

When the army enlists moslems it imports into itself cancer.
Allahu Akbar in Arabic means “Nothing to see here!”
Ours get appointed to security positions!
Send in the Gurkhas.
How many such traitors exist in our military?
Major Nidal Hassan. the Fort Hood shooter, was one of them. How many more??
RE: When the army enlists moslems it imports into itself cancer.
And here’s another ... we capture them ( with many of our soldiers dying in the process ), put them in an isolated island called Gitmo, only to set them free for them to fight and kill us another day....
Does this make sense?
I’m gonna go out on a long limb here, and bet those soldiers were NOT ‘white guys’....
You must be some kind of conspiracy nut.

It makes sense to a Moslem CinC of an infidel army.
They will...they are French citizens and afforded all of their rights.

Just goes to show you can never be sure you have them either assimilated or civilized (let alone potty trained).
Only solution: kick them out and keep them out.

.
But they were all muslims.
The French prefer to be on the winning side.
once a Muslim enlists, he will apply for technical schools, and jobs which will benefit Islam in their world domination goal. Some will leave the service and take their new skills to radical Islam, some will stay in the service as the enemy within.
Did they take the special white flags with them?
