Let’s see how the French people respond to soldiers coming back in body bags. Not very well, I imagine.

Hopefully they get located quickly and wiped out.

Speaking specifically about the French Foreign Legion:

April 2024:

May 2024:
http://foreignlegion.info/2024/05/

There are some former members of the FFL, now fighting alongside Ukraine troops inside Ukraine - some of them, as members of Ukraine’s international legion.

There are some Russians who were former members of the FFL, now fighting alongside Russian troops inside Ukraine.

But there is no regiment of the FFL, stationed in, nor heading to Ukraine at this time [May 5, 2024].

March 7, 2022:

FFL HQ then assured Ukrainians who are members of the FFL, that they may take 2 weeks leave, in order to affect improvements regarding the security of their families.

Otherwise, there are some French Troops operating in non-combat roles in Ukraine.

Footnote: Members of the FFL, are from around the world - including from France.

No mention in French press, so I strongly suspect this is bull.

They were sent there to teach the Ukrinees how to retreat. It’s what the French do most.

Get rid of that idiot Macron and put Marine LePen in there. That would solve a host of problems in France including the Muslim one.

The FFL is exceptional light infantry. The problem is, they are light infantry.

FTA: Macron has to hope that his troop deployments to Ukraine won’t trigger a Russian embargo on sales to France.

He is not very bright is he?

So much is wrong from this article, Frenchmen can join the Legion, and the minimum enlistment is 5 years, not 3, the five year minimum is why I did not return my enlistment form to them.

“According to reports, today France cannot support an overseas deployment of a full division and won’t have this capability until 2027 at the earliest.”
France says it can commit 20,000 troops within 30 days to a threat. The French army says it counts 121,000 soldiers and can call up 24,000 reservists.

“France is not deploying its home army and, besides the small number of officers, the men sent are not French citizens.”
The Legion is part of the Army and has many Frenchmen.
