why are scandis so polite?

This is why my buddy Davey said the SAS are wankers.

The British Army is bureaucratic, risk averse.

With the Legion, the French are willing to take the gloves off.

You're expendable downrange, covert as necessary.

Big Boys Rules.

Harsh Realm.

Get ready for a whole lot of Africa.

It's like the Wild West.

The Legion is the baddest gang in town, but the other gangs are tough too.

Get ready for Mayotte in French Polynesia. DLEM

On the one hand it's a tropical paradise, on the other hand it's got triple canopy rain forest.

Heaven & Hell all in one.

Read Beau Geste. Or watch one of the film adaptations.

It's not that mysterious, in the end you're still serving in the French military.

It's like being in the French Army, it's just the tip of the spear.

I want to snap someone's head back like a PEZ dispenser and spit down their throat.

I want a new identity so jews can't fuck w/me

I want the FBI to be scared of me

An infantryman's battle is mostly against the climate, weather and terrain.

Too hot, too cold, too wet, too muddy, thirsty and hungry.

If you can handle that, that's the hard part dealt with.

In terms of the tactical and close quarters aspects, that's the fun part.

The twin obsessions become sleep and dry.

You have two sets of fatigues, a wet set and a dry set.

The best part is putting your dry kit on and going to sleep in the bush.

The wort part is having to put your wet kit back on when you are awoken.

Recreation is food; what's for supper? Eating is fun.

Entertainment is smokin' & jokin'; hanging with your crew.

This is CECAD in Djibouti. The French Combat Training Center.

This is where the Armee and Legion do their final training phases.

French Battleschool.
