French Foreign Legion is NOT a PC organization. If anybody can wipe out ISIS (at least in Tunisia), they can.

They would be better off deploying them in Marseilles.

Sorry to disagree but as a military force they are borderline worthless. Although somewhat ruthless they arent very effective against a trained fighting force. ISIS could be wiped but it will take more than the Foreign Legion.

That’s fine, but ISIS didn’t attack them in Tunisia, it attacked them in France. What will they do about ISIS sympathizers in France?
If they aren’t ready to do something about ISIS sympathizers in France, then you can guarantee this is going to happen again.
Countries are going to learn at very heavy and painful expense that they have borders for a reason. You don’t let just anyone come across and take up residence in your country.

Why? It’s just a non-religious guy going through a divorce who happened to have a truck crash. At least that’s what the media tells me.

The French Foreign Legion don't fool around. When they are sent to African nations, the groups they oppose often disperse in all directions rather than directly encounter the French Foreign Legion. Since no jungle in Tunisia, it would be much harder for ISIS to hide.The French Foreign Legion know how to politely interrogate a suspect (waterboard).

General Norman Schwartzkopf praised the Legion’s performance in the Gulf War, 1991. However, Hollande etal, have cut them down to 7K men. Spread thin already.

The problem would be in identifying who is ISIS, who is an ISIS sympathizer, and who is just some ordinary Joe trying to get by.
Tough to do when there are no front lines.
IMO, the answer is a wall.

Why not expel Muslims from France?
Would that not be the logical solution.

So the leftists and progressives have their conundrum
Their brainless, asinine leftist immigration, welfare, policing and social-engineering policies are going to lead to brainless war and interventions abroad.
Please explain that to me, lefties.

Read Jean Larteguys first book.
I think it’s titled The New Centurions.
Raspeguy, Esclavier, Mariendelle.......
Great book.
Figure out who the one-eyed cat dragging the sack of garbage is.
I read it when I was in high school.

On the news this morning they were saying France is trying to get those who served in the military recently back into the forces. Apparently they don’t have enough to take on the task at hand.

ISIS hides among and behind the people. Without locals helping them, there is no easy way to sort out the locals from the terrorists.
