This question is more directed towards current and ex-legionnaires who had/have contact with frenchmen while serving, though if you have some info about it, please share.
I'm not particulary concerned about how others would view me if i ever got in, but chatting in an international WhatsApp group, i had one person saying that the Legion is ''a joke'' in France as they are all ''murderers and rapists''. I went on to educate the guy on how the Legion doesn't even take these people anymore, but i'm curious to know what misconception (or not) do french people have towards legionnaires. Thanks for your answers.
