The french foriegn legion was originally developed as way to make the most badass troops from the most evil guys to have ever walked through a prison. The french saw that if they wanted the best killing force, they needed the raw materials to do it with, in this case, murderers, rapists, and so on. One might winder what could drive such an evil person to join a military group that also has one of the highest death rates of any military group. The inceentive that the french gave, was that if you joined and served for however many years they assign to you, and live, you get an entirely new identity and a french visa, meaning for all the hardass criminals, a chance at a second life, no matter what you had done. The officers ask no questions, you get a new name, some euros, and a new social security number assigned to you by the french government. Thats why the french foreign legion is probably the most hardcore sons of bitches the world has seen next to the 300 spartans, Napoleon Boneparte, and the Navy SEALS.
