French Mark British Tombstones With Swatstikas

nah lajeune is too comfortable--how about the iraqui desert ?

that would work. I still think a few DIs would be helpful, though.

No---better yet:

Each and every one of them should be sentenced to having a 12"X8" Union Jack tattooed on their chests AND their backs, with 2"-high letters underneath reading "THERE'LL ALWAYS BE AN ENGLAND".

They apparently like to decorate things; fine. Let the punishment fit the crime.

LOL!! I love both of those ideas/stories. I think we should let the Marines administer the tattoo.

/me laughs uproariously.

Just goes to show how ungrateful they can be but you won't find much as French war graves in Britian I wonder why?
Being called a 'roast beef' doesn't quite have the same insult as being called a frog (Former Republic Of Germany).

The only problem with that is, the last I heard, it was illegal under French law for a French national to enlist in the Foreign Legion.

I don't think it is the case anymore. And when it still was, you were offered the option of changing your identity (unless you were convinced of murder, rape, or anything serious).

It is a well-known fact that the vast majority of the "legionnaires" who were supposedly coming from Monaco for example were in fact French.

Thanks for the update, Oliver.

I guess things have changed since the days of "Beau Geste".

I did see a documentary not too long ago that said they have pretty much lost their "distinctive, mythical" status---any more, they're pretty much like any other unit in the French Army; same uniforms, same weapons, same training and tactics.

Probably French government employees.
