Comments by "Comm0ut" (@Comm0ut) on "How The Foreign Legion Proves WOKE Culture WRONG" video.
Firstly the FFL is very, very small an a country with few opportunities for military enthusiasts. Secondly FFLs image benefits enormously from Hollywood romance and deception by omission.(That's of course through no fault of the Legion, it's simply most people are ignorant.) Hollywood does not emphasize FFL's historic and ongoing mission which is neocolonialism, mostly competing in Africa over influence in former colonies. They're a fine modern fighting force ideal for those wanting that sort of very specific career doing that very specific mission style but hardly a model for entire nation-state militaries waging industrialized war and that is NOT by accident. To be great at what the Legion does requires specialization in what is really a special operations branch.
