I don’t think the men of the legion are going to accept the takeover quietly.

There might still be a few loose jackels, and their day may come.

In August of 1962, President Charles DeGaulle survived an assassination attempt involving about a dozen shooters, IIRC, from members of the SDECE aligned with mutinous elements of the French army, chiefly made up of Algerian war veterans. He spent the next ten years purging the army ranks and secret security service. CIA chief Allen Dulles was said to have been secretly supporting the mutiny. Fall out included France dropping from NATO and developing their own nuclear weapons program, Force Frappe.

Hollande is no De Gaulle. Could get very interesting over yonder given another Bataclan massacre.

There were some 2 REI guys [Regiment Etranger d' Infanterie] at the second Paris massacre aftermath. Most of the *responders* were cops with Gendarmerie canoe caps carrying handguns, mini-14s or shotguns. The ones wearing Woodland [CCE] vests, green berets and carrying les clarion infantry rifles were the Paras.
