“The French Foreign Legion would.”

I don’t think so. The FFL has a long history of taking hard cases and people who have had a brush with the law and that want a chance to hit the reset button in their life. But there are limits. Applicants generally can’t be married or have any legal dependents. They can’t be in serious debt or have active warrants for their arrest. They won’t take anyone guilty of what they used to call “crimes against manhood.” This has generally been understood to include murder, mayhem, sexual crimes and drug dealing. And they do very detailed background checks on applicants through INTERPOl and French/NATO intelligence services. Anyone with possible connections to organized crime or political/religious extremism is also barred.
