@polka23dot The FFL doesn't need UAVs and expensive technology. Simple because legionnaires are replaceable

@BlackenedThorn oh what a retard, a quick glimpse of my page would have told you im British, nice to see you whipping out the old WW2 card, the fact is the only reason France fell so easily is because it is bordered with Germany, and believe me when i say, that any country bordered with Germany at that time would have fallen to them, and if you want to talk about military conquests the USA hasnt done anything much the only reason the Japanese surrendered was becuase of the A bomb

Why did Foster desert ...

Seems like a tough military guy made to do this...

Makes people think twice about joining this

[anondragon2012]

That British guy Raubenheimer is badass.

40 years old, and after the legion and hard military life wants to become a bloody mercenary.

Holy shit what a warrior. And married too.

@polka23dot , 50 Kg ?! i think that you are NOT in the army, the backpacks are 15-20kg not 50... + it's clear that all this electronic help, but have the American resolve the Taliban problem in Afghanistan ? the Marines made a join training program with the FFl in Djibouti, after one week they stop and return to america because it was "to hard"...

@061575292 Okay mate, you got a point there. But still, I don't think that's where there main point of focus is. Legionnaires are replaceable. Nothing more nothing less. Hard, but that's war.

[061575292]

@BruceBufferFTW No,they have UAV drones that they launch using steam rail,like on aircraft carriers,but smaller.I watched the documentary and they own like 3 of those.

[BruceBufferFTW]

@061575292 Honestly, I don't think so. I do not think that the FFL owns drones, but they'll probably receive assistance from the Air force.

[061575292]

@BruceBufferFTW FYI,FLL owns several UAV drones.

@chitown1966 What I meant was that Ho chi minh had appealed to the us gov for reconition as an independent nation during the trumen administration. Ho had been a member of the french communist party since the 30s. Deim asked for assistance fighting the communist north had he gotten his brother out of the country and represented all the people fairly they may have supported him I belive if gen Ed Landsdale had been headed we could have been brothers working together for common good

[chitown1966]

@sass225 I agree with most of that. But I dont believe they were drove to communism. since it had to force it upon the majority of the people. But the French as well as the Americans should have left the country alone.
