Their interest was in the uniqueness of the Legion..
Fighting for France is certainly "unique".But then so is trying to remove your own liver with a pair of pliers.I'd never give either activity a second's worth of consideration.

I believe that psychologically Legionnaires do not fight for France, they fight for the Legion. During both World Wars, the Legion had internal problems between the idealists who joined to fight for France and the veteran Legionnaires who fought for the sake of fighting and the Legion. The two did not get along at all. This worldview of the Legionnaire manifested itself in the early 60’s in Algeria when many Legionnaires turned on the French government itself, some forming the terrorist OAS, and even attempting several assassinations on DeGaulle.

That is two, really stupid posts in a row, that you have made
You are so clueless and uninterested in the legion, I don’t know why you are on this thread.
Rather than troll, why not just read other people’s posts.
