If you are on the run, if you search for excitement, if you have nothing to loose, then you go to the french foreign legion. Some call it an army of thieves because it is said, that no one comes to the foreign legion if everything is allright in your life. That’s why you have to sell everything you own when you join the french foreign legion. You even get a new identity - if you wish. All you have to do is survive for a minimum of five years and follow the orders of your superiors.
