Man so how about that capitalist or fascist or whatever the fuck this is death drive, huh?
Oh. Foreign Legion soldiers. France's rabid mad dog psychopathic massacre troops, who are also conveniently disposable in that they are not actually French.
Don't worry, folks. No French soldiers are deployed. Just mercenary assassins of the French regime.
Fucking lol.
A division is 10,000 soldiers. And not, like, just combat personnel. Combat troops plus all the rear area troops needed to supply them. So basically nothing. What in the entire blue fuck does he think he's doing? And of course it's Foreign Legion mercs so no one at home will give a shit when they contribute to Ukraine's long tradition of fertilizing their fields with dead fascists.
What do you suppose happens to them if they're captured? They're not French. They're not Ukrainian. They're mercenaries according to any sensible understanding of the term.
French foreign legion does not mean they are mercenaries, they are French troops under contract as professional soldiers who fight for the chance of French citizenship who take orders directly from the French president. This is how they’ve operated for well over a century. The reason they’re called the foreign legion is because anyone can join regardless of birth nation, but they mainly pull from Europe, America, and French colonies. They are not to be confused with the Ukrainian foreign legion who operate as mercenaries.
mfw Service Guarantees Citizenship!!!
They are 100% mercenaries. Foreign nationals fighting for pay under the flag of another country. They're mercenary scum and they've always been mercenary scum. Dangling French citizenship in front of them is the same as cash or conflict diamonds.
They are not mercenaries and it’s very important to understand WHY they are not mercenaries. You harm a legionary you harm a citizen of France, as they gain immediate citizenship when wounded in combat.
I stand corrected, then. I understand now that as a matter of international law they are not considered mercenaries.
