Legio Patria Nostra

Like most boys, I grew up dreaming of a life filled with action and adventure. Unlike most men, I was able to live out those boyhood dreams during my five years in the French Foreign Legion. Previously.
telstar, I can actually hear you grinding your axe. What gives?
Also, this guys site had so much potential, but it's highly frustrating given the fact there's almost no story to it, just a scrap book of people and places. If you're gonna put up a site about joining the legion, at least give us the why and the how.

When I was just a baby
My mother told me "Son,
Don't ever link to Lycos,
Don't link low bandwidth sites."
But I linked some foreign legion,
Just to watch his site die...

This guy's story might have had the potential to make a decent site, but this guy's site is beyond saving.

Parannoyed: I liked this for the "how," though it doesn't really cover the "why"...
(That said, the original site's gallery of book covers is pretty cool.)

My favorite Legion song. The 13 Regiment's "Under the Burning Sun of Africa" [click on "ecoutez le chant"]
- cool post. I will write more later . . . gotta run out the door.

Anyone interested in the French Foreign Legion might also enjoy the works of A.J. Quinnell.
