I'm doing an essay about the French Foreign Legion. The French Foreign Legion aka the FFL is a French army division led by non-French nationals. There are 130 nationalities serving in the FFL. The French Foreign Legion is perhaps the greatest social experiment in the world. Where else will you find 7700 men of different social, cultural, religious, family and economic backgrounds from 130 countries around the globe moulded together into such a precisely engineered fighting machine.



Now i was wondering: Where can i find Malaysians currently serving or used to serve in the French Foreign Legion? Because the FFL is so multi-national that i need to see this from a Malaysian POV. Any information given here is welcomed.

Blackwater is a corporation. FFL is controlled by the French Army and Sarkozy.

In previous years, the French Legion consisted of heartbroken men with a death wish, and convicts seeking to escape punishment. That and also to get rid of immigrants by sending them off to fight in Africa.

Well, not anymore.

The Legion's image as a haven for ne'er-do-wells is largely out of date. Now, aspiring recruits are subjected to detailed background checks via Interpol.

"We don't accept the hardened criminals any more, the murderers or rapists," says Capt Samir Benykrelef, "so this makes our job easier."
