I thought the French Foreign Legion was also in French Guyana protecting the space port.

I think the headline is an exaggeration. Though I don’t see why Sarkozy would want to downsize. According to Wiki, there are @ “7,700 men in eleven regiments and one sub-unit”.
Not very many.

France is socialist godless secular humanist post Christian nation and therefore under the curse of the living and only true God, the God of Israel, as are all nations who sin against Him and therefore are morally and consequently economically bankrupt as the living God of Israel is Sovereign and Lord of Hosts.
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord , but sin is a reproach to any people." A prerequisite knowledge and of understanding( the departure from evil is understanding) and wisdom for securing the blessing of the Lord God of Israel, creator of Heaven and earth and all that dwell therein. God is the God of Israel,Christ Jesus is Lord and sin is the violation of His commandments.For those who live in darkness, search the Scriptures and you will see the clear gospel of God and His Son Jesus Christ( the Word of God who became flesh and who created the creature man upon the earth and has loved us and....).

The guys at headquarters might want to check up on those Foreign Legionnaires in Yugoslavia, since that country no longer exists. Maybe they are keeping the peace in Monte Carlo.

Of course the French Foreign Legion is France’s best fighting unit, most of the unit’s soldiers are foreign!
