Couldn't really find anything wrong at 1:33. Do you mean the black guy? His probably from Africa and for the moment overwhelmed by events. He'll settle in.
Yeah I'm pretty sure the instructors were keeping calm because of the filming. :ROFLMAO:

I posted this a long time ago, I think it will be funny to members that are active at the moment (hence the repost).
Didn't know where to post it, and didn't see any need to open a separate thread....

It also provides the same if one wants to join Delta forces, SAS, Green Berets and US SF at the bottom of the page.

No i don't take it Personal but I think it's the people up top who are to blame for this sort of thing not the troops on the ground. Just annoys me that they end up getting slagged off.
And I agree with you. Don't getting what upset you.

Fife pensioner threatens to join French Foreign Legion after court trial delays

https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/new...ench-foreign-legion-after-court-trial-delays/
"The French Foreign Legion is a military branch of the French Army and historically attracted recruits with checkered past.

Legionnaires are highly trained infantry soldiers and it is unique in that it is open to foreign recruits willing to serve in the French Armed Forces."

But not crazy old guys going on 74 :coffee:

They have been thrown out, i belive
I remember when this happened
Just being an ex legionnaire can be dangerous here in Nîmes
For those who knew Nîmes back in the day. ....you wouldn't recognise the place any more. There's no such thing as a Legion bar like we had back then. It's probally the reason too why i do not see legionnaires out on town (+ the fact they wear civils when out)

7 years...why so long? Are the courts so over run with Cases?

Was asking myself the same
Most dont do their time ( prlmo delinquant and less than a 2 year sentence. ..example : Claude Geneuant ancien Préfet and ministre de l'intérieur under Sarkozy, recently condemmed to 1 year prison and will never be locked up. Nor will Sarkozy.
Corrupt sons of bitchies
Nîmes has the most over crowded prison in France and probally Europe too
