I've never read any of the SAS books. From Chris ryan... Etc. Rather read a good buff mag 😁 maybe some truth in them but of course it's spiced up and written for them. Money makes the World go round. Army life is not all Action we know this. Even for SF guys.

no disrespect to the Legion but i doubt if the US Navy Seals needed the Legion. Maybe to support them but Navy Seals are specialists.
correct you are...A little known fact is that we were on standby to jump just north of Mogadishu if the "shit hit the fan". There were trucks loaded with parachutes in our secluded area of Djibouti airport on the morning of the 12th December 1992. The Americans were thrilled to work with us...especially once we got out of Mogadishu doing chopper work. For the vast majority of the Marines i spoke to it was their first time in a war zone, and Africa

Nous marchons gaiement en cadence,
Malgré le vent malgré la pluie
Les meilleurs soldats de la France
Sont là devant vous, les voici.

Nous sommes tous des volontaires
Les gars du 1er étranger
Notre devise est légendaire,
Honneur, Fidélité...

Just wrote down the first verse of the first song we hear in the video, but everyone will have noticed that there are a number of them, including the regimental songs of 2e REP and 1er REC.
