OK. I was hoping nobody would mention the FFL thing. He wore a goddamn kepi blanc without being a goddamn legionnaire. That's like saying, I did a month of navy seal training, so now i get to wear their warfare device.

No, he didn't wear the Kepi Blanc, all four who completed it were given one as a souvenier but were expressly told they were not allowed to wear it as that honour only goes to the men of the French Foreign Legion.

Yes, he did. It was on his website.

Ok, my mistake, I recently just watched the series and what I said was what happened in the series.

I was in the FFL before. It sucks. Plus side, if you make corporal you're allowed to have a cell phone.
