I think OWB is on to something; I agree that PDJT did that to throw the wolves off his trail.

Now you’ve given me something else to watch out for-—a bunch of French guys with axes. But I can buy the tree clearing part. In my bayo collection I have a couple of Swiss Engineer bayonets. They fit a Vetterli but they are 30” long and are way too heavy to ever actually use as a bayonet. They have a full length sawback, meant to cut logs, they claim, and are the sharpest doggone things I’ve ever picked up-—handle gingerly. If one ever got used to actually stab a person if would take the names of at least four surgical procedures to describe the damage.

But Billings is only about 100 miles short of Bozeman, and, at 500 MPH that’s about 10 minutes. They could have turned the engines off and coasted that far.

Heard that the reason they landed in Billings was the Billings airport had a longer runway. Mechanical problem may have required that.

The French Foreign Legion Pionniers (Pioneers) distinguish themselves by their specific and unique dress uniform :

Axe (French: Hache): serves to destroy obstacles of wood dressed by the enemy. At origin there were 6 kinds of axes to destroy and 7 kinds of axes to hammer.

Leather Apron (French: Tablier de Cuir): Originally colored yellow with heritage to the 18th century and worn by the infantry sapeurs, the apron initially served the function to protect the sapeurs from wooden munitions blasts, breaching blasts and also limiting risks of penetration on obstacles in case of fall. The leather apron is of a tawny color and was officially adopted by the Legion in 1835.

Gauntlet Gloves (French: Gants à Crispin): White Gauntlet Gloves served to protect the hands while destroying obstacles.

Beard (French: Barbe): Since the pionniers were the first to mount combat assaults, their life expectancy was very minimal. Accordingly, from that principle, they reserved the right, when deploying to combat, to not shave and would come back bearded when they survived. The wearing of the beard became mandatory in the French Foreign Legion in 1844.

Pionniers Insignia (French: l’insigne de manche): Worn below the rank insignia on the right arm. The insignia represents two crossed axes, emblem of function of tradition. The lozenges (diamonds) vary in color and depend on ranks:
- Golden Axe on black background for Sous-officiers.
- Golden Axe on black background bordered with gold for the Caporaux-Chefs.
- Green Axe on black background bordered with green for the Caporaux and Legionnaires.
