Meet the elite soldiers of the French Foreign Legion | DW Documentary
The French Foreign Legion is regarded as the toughest army corps in the world. Its soldiers fight on the frontlines of France’s wars.
In the past, the legionnaires, who come from all over the world, were deployed in Algeria, Morocco and Indochina. And they were often associated with the dubious reputation of being a hotbed for criminals. But those days are obviously over. For some years now, the Foreign Legion has also been tracking down illegal gold diggers in the rainforest of the overseas territory of French Guiana. We accompanied them on their mission. And took a look behind the scenes at these hard men.

Meet the elite mercenaries of a decrepit, failed empire with a Napoleon complex…ftfy
Still in existence ?
how can they get more gold even worse than burning plastic on environment?
Europeans aren't able to stop ilegal mining but they critisize Brazil for not being able to do It. 😅
Illegal gold miners! How wicked!
Why are they burning everything and dumping waste in Jungle. They should collect it. The miners brought it in. Just lazy unprofessional soldiering
The report skips talking about the extent of the mining problem and the unwillingness and impossibility to police it, for instance no mention is made about the size of the territory this small unit has to patrol. The whole exercise is quite absurd and only helps to stay in contact with the developments, not controlling them. There is no remedy. The machinery is paid for and imported from Surinam and Brazil, along the rivers Oyapok and Maroni. The guys manning the jungle camps are just workers living off a miserable salary. Even if caught, there is no sense in persecuting them.
Hollywood style glorification 🙈🙈 ….. They ran away from Taliban in Kabul August 2021
French already fled and have foreigners for their army 😂
French Mercenaries

French use broken down and out foreigners to maintain the empire by force. Clever imperialists.

Tintin should be assigned this news assignment, and show us what you didn't 😊
No Woman ,No Cry….
"…Sends army into conflicts ..AFRICA for example" That is another fictional narrative. Where in Africa? There is blood wars in Europe , US ( gun violence) and Middle East .Go there and fight.
Hard men, tough missions, inevitable surrender.
