Has ISIS taken the place of the French Foreign Legion in the hearts of young men who have no direction or self confidence? I’m not even sure if the French Foreign Legion exists anymore or ever did in the manner it was portrayed in movies, but I used to hear about that being a way for young men to choose if they were hungry for adventure and challenge. Even still, the French F. Legion was never known for beheading and crucifying people. So just how ‘shocked’ could these recruits really be that ISIS is no ‘walk in the park’.
The French Foreign Legion is still in existence and is a fairly elite force.
