even thought they get some good training the thought of being a bullet catcher for the French Government gives me chills..

and knowing they will send you first before their troops because they dont want to deal the frenchies getting killed, i recommend you stikcing in our side you never know what could happen and what side you could be on later on the road.
 
I was in the active Army and now serving in the National Guard.. Well recently we were told that re-enlistment is going to be difficult do to financial and over strength. Well I'm in the infantry and now having some hearing loss it will be almost impossible for me to re-enlist in 2 years when my service is up. I have always wanted to join the French Foreign Legion but I would have to denounce my United States citizenship.. I love my country but I also love the military and the thought of being a soldier, that's just who I am and what I've known since I was 18. The Legion doesn't pay any better than the U.S. Army but to me it's more than just pay. I really haven't decided whether I am going to per sue it or not but I also might not be able to re-enlist with my countries military and that sucks, because I absolutely enjoy the infantry what we do! Do you think it's worth giving up your citizenship for something you love to do?
The French Foreign Legion is comprised of Soldiers from all over the world. it isn't just french, there are alot of americans in the legion
 
You don't have to give up your citizenship to join the FFL. They keep your passport and after your 5 year contract you can either get your American passport back and do whatever you want, or get a new French one. You have the choice to keep or give up your citizenship after your contract.
