“Sorry to disagree but as a military force they are borderline worthless.”
That’s not a position that can be supported by any rational facts. Point us to an FFL failure that backs this up. The fact is, they are extremely competent infantry, as good as any on earth. Airborne, engineers, and MP units. They are almost tailor made for such warfare.
They are about 3 times the size of the USN Seal teams, and come with organic combat engineers and MP units.
I tend to agree with you. I am not an expert on FFL but I have read extensively about the FFL over the decades and some of their individual military unit heroism is just astounding.
I’ve never read anything “specific” and “factual” that was negative about them. And, I’m speaking of their fighting prowess.
