WEBVTT - Do People Really Run Off to Join the French Foreign Legion?

0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to you stuff you should know fro dot com, Josh.

0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Before we get started, we want to remind our loyal

0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:18.720
<v Speaker 1>TV audience. We hear from you guys that say this

0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:21.159
<v Speaker 1>show is really growing on me. I'm really liking it

0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:23.680
<v Speaker 1>more and more, and we really appreciate that, and we do.

0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Your last chance to see said shows will be this Saturday,

0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:30.160
<v Speaker 1>March night. We got our final marathon coming up. That's right.

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:32.640
<v Speaker 1>It starts at New and Eastern time, that's right, um,

0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:36.080
<v Speaker 1>and that's on Science Channel. And it's a whole marathon

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:42.240
<v Speaker 1>featuring some classic episodes uh culpy runs, plus two new episodes,

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 1>both written by Mr Charles W. Chuck Bryant, beautiful episodes,

0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:50.240
<v Speaker 1>and one of which is the pilot. But even more confusingly,

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 1>the fact that we're airing the pilot as the season

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>finale is that that's not even the pilot pilot. The

0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:59.520
<v Speaker 1>pilot pilot what air after that, I believe. Yeah, So

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:03.480
<v Speaker 1>to avoid confusion, it's a little We've got John Hodgman

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:06.040
<v Speaker 1>in in the next of the last episode, Yes, which

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:07.679
<v Speaker 1>is the great one, A lot of fun. It's about

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.200
<v Speaker 1>private space exploration, that's right. And then we have the

0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Originally it was episode one to set up this whole shebang.

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:17.600
<v Speaker 1>They're airing this last which is very unique in television.

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>And then the lost pilot that we shot like over

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.400
<v Speaker 1>a year ago but really not even in the format

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.600
<v Speaker 1>of the actual show. Yeah, that we're airing that too,

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:28.760

<v Speaker 1>Lightning Quick edition. Is this Lightning Quick? Yes? Because of

<v Speaker 1>the lightning. Oh yeah, we have a like tornadoes and

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 1>stuff coming in, so it's like holding out of the

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay Corral as the storm rolls in. But well we'd

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:50.760
<v Speaker 1>also like to get out of the Okay Corral before

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 1>the steward Let's get here, you know. That's the point. Yeah,

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:55.640
<v Speaker 1>you were saying, there's a tornado flipping cars on like

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 1>seventy five up north apparently. And I know my dog

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Buckley is at home just waiting to pee all over

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>the place when the thunderstarts. So if I can be

0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:05.800
<v Speaker 1>there and hold him, he's fine. The French Foreign Legion,

0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 1>chuck um. They are a fighting force, a military fighting

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:14.520
<v Speaker 1>force that one young man by the name of Jean

0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Claude van Damme ran off and joined in the movies.

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.080
<v Speaker 1>I got you, It totally got me. I was like,

0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 1>I never knew. Can you imagine? No, he was? It

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>was in the movies. He wasn't really a legionnaire. What

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:31.639
<v Speaker 1>movie was it? I think Legion was a movie called

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Legion Legion never heard of it. But yeah, he's a

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>he's a legionaire. Actually you can tell, well, you know,

0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that there are that many like big fans,

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 1>but I'll bet his big fans are like like big

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:48.360
<v Speaker 1>time John Claude van dam Um, like Steven Seagal's fans

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>probably probably so just a hardcore you know, um. But

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.160
<v Speaker 1>you could tell that Jean Claude van dam was in

0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 1>this movie because he's wearing a hat with the little

0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 1>cape in the back. Yeah. Is that what it's called? Yeah,

0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 1>spelled k e P. I pronounced KP. And they still

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 1>wear those, and uh, you know it's a it's a

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 1>tradition that is still true today. The little flat cap

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 1>very stiff and rigid, and uh, they don't always have

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 1>the capes, you know, when they're out where they need them,

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>they will. Well, the reason that they would have them

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 1>is because for the better part of two centuries, the

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:26.800
<v Speaker 1>French Foreign Legion was stationed in Algeria. Yeah. Uh. And

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the reason they were station there is because that's where

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:32.040
<v Speaker 1>their headquarters were almost from the moment of inception of

0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 1>this um, this military group. Yeah. And the reason they

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.719
<v Speaker 1>were stationed there from inception was because they were a

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:43.520
<v Speaker 1>bunch of ne'er do well criminals in many cases, and

0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.279
<v Speaker 1>so they're like, you know, you guys are great and

0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:49.479
<v Speaker 1>you're super tough. Let's move you to Algeria to help

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 1>our colonization efforts and get you out of France. Do

0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 1>you want to talk about the history first? Yeah, well today,

0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:57.720
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about today just for one second. Over there

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.840
<v Speaker 1>are seven thousand, two d and eighty six Legionnaires as

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:05.359
<v Speaker 1>of December of last year, and to the date, to

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:09.400
<v Speaker 1>the date the date, thirty thousand have died in battle

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.799
<v Speaker 1>over the years. I saw that, which is not that bad.

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.160
<v Speaker 1>But it's a small group. You know that seven thousand

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 1>isn't much, right, and there they are the fighting force

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 1>in the world that have seen more continuous acts than

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 1>any other. Yeah, they fight constantly, They've been fighting constantly. Well,

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 1>and they're bad dudes like there, they even say in

0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:32.600
<v Speaker 1>this article. And they're well known to be much tougher

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:37.360
<v Speaker 1>than the regular French army because they're not French. Well

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 1>they're actually I don't know much that has to do

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 1>with it, but they're known for being tough dudes. Yeah,

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 1>and they're also a special forces unit. Basically, Um, no women.

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 1>When we say dudes, we can say dudes. Yeah, there's

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:53.279
<v Speaker 1>never been a Fridge Foreign legionnaire who is a woman. Uh,

0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 1>and um, they are. They've been in just about every conflict,

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:04.679
<v Speaker 1>um that the French have been in, yeah, since eighteen thirty. Um.

0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 1>And did you know that the French Foreign legion invaded

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.599
<v Speaker 1>Mexico in eighteen sixty one and stayed there until eighteen

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.920
<v Speaker 1>sixty five when they're finally beaten back. Yeah. They tried

0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 1>to assassinate the president and installed in Austrian prince named

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.719
<v Speaker 1>Maximilian as the ruler of Mexico, has set it up

0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.160
<v Speaker 1>as a French puppet state. I wonder if they had

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:28.920
<v Speaker 1>any influence on Culinarily speaking, I don't know. You don't

0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 1>much French stuff pop up in Mexico like you do

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 1>in like Vietnam. During that Colognial period you know, or Indochina. Okay,

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 1>So do you want to go to history? Should how

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 1>these guys start? Well? In uh eighteen thirty Josh, they

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:51.400
<v Speaker 1>tell you little story about a guy named King Louis Philippe. Uh.

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 1>It's known as a July Revolution. He replaced King Charles

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:59.920
<v Speaker 1>ten and X X and H after the Bourbon mon

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 1>archy fell and this was Parisian radicals were involved in

0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 1>this overthrow. So even though he was made king in

0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:13.000
<v Speaker 1>large part because of these radicals and because of radicalism,

0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 1>these radicals were some tough guys and a lot of

0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:17.240
<v Speaker 1>them were you know, it kind of brought in this

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:22.920
<v Speaker 1>um criminal element in some cases. And you know, I

0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 1>don't want to say they were bad guys, but maybe

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>they were bad guys. Well, the King Louis Philippe thought

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.560
<v Speaker 1>that they were a threat to the monarchy because you know,

0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:35.440
<v Speaker 1>he had gotten to the throne by these radicals, and

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.680
<v Speaker 1>it had attracted radicals from all over Europe and a

0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of them were very soldier like, and he was

0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 1>like or former soldiers um, and he said, welcome to France.

0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Let me figure out what to do with you. I

0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 1>can't legally make you a part of the French army.

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.600
<v Speaker 1>So how about I just make a foreign legion made

0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 1>up of foreign dissidence, foreign nationals, and UM send him elsewhere.

0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 1>And they for pretty happy with that plan. It was

0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 1>March of one he laid out his eight articles and

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 1>pretty much that was what the foreign legion was from,

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.400
<v Speaker 1>who they were to be, where were there to train,

0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.840
<v Speaker 1>what were there to where? And a lot of the

0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:17.840
<v Speaker 1>traditions were established in that very first set of articles UM.

0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 1>And then included in that, Chuck are, was one that

0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:25.080
<v Speaker 1>said that you had to UM to check for a

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:30.360
<v Speaker 1>birth certificate, a certificate of good life manners, and a

0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.920
<v Speaker 1>certificate from a military authority saying that this person is

0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:37.040
<v Speaker 1>a good soldier. And you had to have all that

0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:42.439
<v Speaker 1>if you're going to accept the recruit that or um

0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:46.320
<v Speaker 1>it was up to the commandants discretion. Yeah, that it

0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.400
<v Speaker 1>reminded me of like how they'll be a paragraph and

0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.600
<v Speaker 1>a legal contract that says all these things. At the

0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:54.280
<v Speaker 1>very end it will say like or we could just

0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:58.240
<v Speaker 1>change our mind about all that, right, So basically, yeah,

0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.560
<v Speaker 1>we need all these papers and documents, and that was

0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:03.760
<v Speaker 1>in our article seven or article six, and then the

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:07.120
<v Speaker 1>seventh article said, or just let them in if you,

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:10.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, have a good feeling about them exactly, and

0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:12.640
<v Speaker 1>worry about the papers so much. And that led to

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:19.040
<v Speaker 1>this thing called um and and non nimt nonmat, which

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:25.040
<v Speaker 1>is anonymity in French. Um and it says that you

0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 1>can join the French Foreign Legion under an assumed name,

0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.240
<v Speaker 1>because we're going to give you an assumed name one

0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.640
<v Speaker 1>way or another for the first year of your service

0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:37.760
<v Speaker 1>in the French Foreign Legion. You need to basically take

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.840
<v Speaker 1>on an assumed name. You're leaving your old identity behind.

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:44.640
<v Speaker 1>And that's a really strange, unusual aspect of the frenchign

0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 1>legion um that still exists today. Yeah. In fact, it

0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:53.319
<v Speaker 1>was mandatory until just a few years ago. Until two

0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:58.040
<v Speaker 1>thousand ten, you had to sign up under a different name,

0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:00.720
<v Speaker 1>and then at the end of that year you go

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:05.160
<v Speaker 1>through a process called military regularization of the situation, which

0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:08.079
<v Speaker 1>basically meant you could get your old papers back from

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.120
<v Speaker 1>your home country and go back to your old name.

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:12.560
<v Speaker 1>And you can still do all that. It's just not

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:16.199
<v Speaker 1>mandatory any longer. No UM. But a lot of guys

0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.040
<v Speaker 1>it's like the fresh start, you know, that's what they're

0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 1>looking for. A lot of men who joined the army

0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:22.680
<v Speaker 1>and that's one of the every country. That's one of

0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:24.840
<v Speaker 1>the things that the French Foreign Legion touts when you

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.200
<v Speaker 1>when you join it, is that we're a place you

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:30.800
<v Speaker 1>can have a second chance. Yeah, forget your past, even

0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:34.000
<v Speaker 1>forget your name, minor criminal records. I mean back in

0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:37.600
<v Speaker 1>the day they would accept major criminals. Uh. Now they're

0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.840
<v Speaker 1>a little more selective and they'll overlook like a minor

0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.600
<v Speaker 1>criminal record, but nothing like they want to accept murderers

0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.560
<v Speaker 1>and things like that. And for a very long time, Um,

0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.600
<v Speaker 1>they would accept nothing, no one but foreign nationals. You

0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:50.839
<v Speaker 1>couldn't be French and join the French Foreign Legion. You

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.280
<v Speaker 1>can join the army, but not the foreign Legion. Um.

0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:57.080
<v Speaker 1>They recently changed that, so you can be French um

0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:00.480
<v Speaker 1>and join it, right, Yeah. And you can gain your

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 1>French citizenship as a foreign national by serving what three years?

0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Three years in good standing. And I think you have

0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:13.040
<v Speaker 1>to go back to your original name and stuff. Um, yeah,

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:16.000
<v Speaker 1>you if you're going to get citizenship, you can't do

0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 1>it under your declared name. Um. And you're talking about that, um,

0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.520
<v Speaker 1>the what was it called where you go through that

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:29.839
<v Speaker 1>that process of the military regularization of the situation it's

0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.200
<v Speaker 1>such a weird name for name change really is UM.

0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.319
<v Speaker 1>But it's not just the name change. It's basically like

0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.360
<v Speaker 1>that represents the end of your first year, and it

0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:39.960
<v Speaker 1>represents the end of the French Foreign Legion owning you

0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:46.800
<v Speaker 1>during this time. UM. During your first year, you cannot

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:51.480
<v Speaker 1>have a civilian bank account, you can't get married, you

0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 1>can't wear civilian clothes even off duty. You can't buy

0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:59.439
<v Speaker 1>a car, you can't um travel abroad on leave anywhere

0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:02.680
<v Speaker 1>but France. You have to wear your uniform all the time. Yeah,

0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.679
<v Speaker 1>some in some form or fashion you have to wear

0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:09.160
<v Speaker 1>a uniform. So yeah, it's UM. They own you for

0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:11.280
<v Speaker 1>the first year. It's definitely harder than the French Army.

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Like you said, yeah, and whatever status. If you're married

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 1>and you join the French Foreign Legion, you have to

0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.440
<v Speaker 1>enlist as a single man, right, So I don't know

0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:24.920
<v Speaker 1>if I guess you can remain married technically, but the

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.199
<v Speaker 1>papers say that you're a single man. I would imagine

0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 1>if you run off to the French Foreign Legion, the

0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.720
<v Speaker 1>marriage might be on shaky ground as it is, or

0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:35.000
<v Speaker 1>you're not married. Yeah, this good point that probably out

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.319
<v Speaker 1>of like already married men doesn't seem like a very

0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:41.240
<v Speaker 1>family supportive place. It's kind of like, you know, you

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.600
<v Speaker 1>are getting away from a situation or something like that. Honey,

0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:48.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna have to deny your existence and change my name. Um,

0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:50.760
<v Speaker 1>but it's really worth it because I want to be

0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.560
<v Speaker 1>a legionnaire and where and where the kp right and

0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:58.520
<v Speaker 1>gain the respect of the French. You think I'm just kidding. Well,

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 1>you know what's funny is they are. I read an article.

0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:04.720
<v Speaker 1>There's an article in the December two thou twelve Vanity

0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Fair called the Expendables. That's pretty interesting. It's about the

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.080
<v Speaker 1>French Foreign Legion what they're doing now. Some of that

0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:16.880
<v Speaker 1>you remember in our gold Um episode we talked about

0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.440
<v Speaker 1>illicit gold mining in Guiana. Apparently one of the things

0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:22.760
<v Speaker 1>that Foreign Legion is doing now is they're fighting those

0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.120
<v Speaker 1>gold miners now, shutting that down. That's one of the

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:28.240
<v Speaker 1>things they're doing because Afghanistan's winding down for the French,

0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:30.120
<v Speaker 1>so they're kind of looking for new stuff to do,

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:34.760
<v Speaker 1>and that's one of the things up. Uh. Your first

0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.560
<v Speaker 1>contract if you join up as a legionnaire is a

0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:41.800
<v Speaker 1>minimum of five years and pay for a corporal starting

0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:47.160
<v Speaker 1>out is one thousand forty three I guess euros per

0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:50.120
<v Speaker 1>month plus of course you know all room and board,

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.000
<v Speaker 1>but that's your take home pay or not. I don't

0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 1>know about takeome but that's your salary. And you get

0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.520
<v Speaker 1>forty five days leave and then you know there is

0:13:56.559 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 1>a path to prosperity to some degree in success US,

0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:03.000
<v Speaker 1>just like any other army, you can work your way

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:07.200
<v Speaker 1>up through the officer ranks. And after that first five years,

0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:11.120
<v Speaker 1>successive contracts are six months to five years. Uh. And

0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't I'm not sure how they determine that, whether

0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:15.640
<v Speaker 1>it's up to you, like if you're like, I just

0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:17.280
<v Speaker 1>want to go six months at a time here, guys,

0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:21.160
<v Speaker 1>or I'm not sure. I couldn't actually find any information

0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:25.040
<v Speaker 1>on that. If they're like, no, you you must sign

0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:29.760
<v Speaker 1>for three years, six months whatever. Yeah, they're like you'll

0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:33.600
<v Speaker 1>probably be dead by then anyway, so and we'll keep

0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:37.760
<v Speaker 1>all of your euros um So in that article, one

0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:39.800
<v Speaker 1>of the things I was that I came across was

0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:46.600
<v Speaker 1>that the the um the legionnaire's view themselves and apparently

0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.160
<v Speaker 1>are viewed by the French as That's why the article

0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:53.080
<v Speaker 1>is called the Expendables as basically there to fight and

0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:56.320
<v Speaker 1>kill and die, and that there's a lot of honor

0:14:56.480 --> 0:15:01.440
<v Speaker 1>in dying, even if it's unnecessarily. But they're just they

0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:04.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of are nihilistic. I get the impression. And I

0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:10.240
<v Speaker 1>think they even used that word their nihilists, well not

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:12.600
<v Speaker 1>say nhilists. Yeah. I did read part of the article though,

0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 1>and they said that normal people don't join the French

0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Foreign Legion, right, they said they're all just a little

0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:22.800
<v Speaker 1>little off, which, um, you know, good about their tough dudes.

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:26.280
<v Speaker 1>And the Spans. The Spanish tried the same thing in

0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.800
<v Speaker 1>they tried to form the Spanish Foreign Legion, um, and

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.080
<v Speaker 1>it didn't take so now it's just called the Spanish Legion.

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.320
<v Speaker 1>It's made up of Spaniards. Yeah. And some folks say

0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:39.360
<v Speaker 1>America could try something like a foreign Legion with h

0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:43.400
<v Speaker 1>the influx of non Americans in this country to maybe

0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:47.280
<v Speaker 1>serve under our regular armies. And uh, I don't know

0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:50.000
<v Speaker 1>if that's ever been pitched. Patril citizenship should be in

0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:52.360
<v Speaker 1>the Dream Act. Yeah why not, dude, I don't know.

0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure people would be like, this is why not? Well, yeah,

0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.000
<v Speaker 1>you can email us later. Yeah, I didn't consider it. It

0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.480
<v Speaker 1>It just came to my head. Um, have you got

0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:05.120
<v Speaker 1>anything else, No, I want to keep. I'll get you

0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.080
<v Speaker 1>one for your birthday. Do you remember when those were

0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.120
<v Speaker 1>like hip in the eighties with the breakdancing? Uh? Yeah,

0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:13.160
<v Speaker 1>those are awesome. It's so funny what different cultures latch

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:16.360
<v Speaker 1>onto from different eras. Yes, you know, yeah, somebody said

0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:18.960
<v Speaker 1>that will look very cool when I'm doing a headspin.

0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:23.600
<v Speaker 1>And the KPE was adopted a break in Ohio, like

0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:27.000
<v Speaker 1>the painters cap And when I was just growing up,

0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.520
<v Speaker 1>the Painter's cap and the bicycle caps were very big

0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:32.520
<v Speaker 1>in the eighties. Oh yeah, the bike cap with the billful.

0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I had a couple of, like Italian ones. I just

0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:36.680
<v Speaker 1>thought it was so cool. What was the name of

0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:40.160
<v Speaker 1>that one brand that everybody had the bike had, you

0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.520
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm talking about, trek No, it was like

0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:46.080
<v Speaker 1>a French name, I believe. I don't know. Uh, I

0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.640
<v Speaker 1>think I had one though. I thought, like it's similar

0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.240
<v Speaker 1>to the word champion, Samano or something. But it wasn't

0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:55.400
<v Speaker 1>that Japanese. And I know what you mean, it's gonna

0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:57.320
<v Speaker 1>come to me. I wonder if it is Japanese. I'll

0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:01.520
<v Speaker 1>bet it's Italian or something. And I'm saying it's Japanese. Shimano. Yeah,

0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.160
<v Speaker 1>I love it when we do these things that where

0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:05.080
<v Speaker 1>we can't think of something because we always get emails

0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:08.359
<v Speaker 1>where people like, oh, screaming in my home the name,

0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:12.520
<v Speaker 1>We're sorry for all of them. Yeah, that sounds close.

0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:16.480
<v Speaker 1>It's not it's that that we're not going to get emails,

0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:18.840
<v Speaker 1>but those of you screaming right now, settled down. Grab

0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:22.040
<v Speaker 1>You only get Ahold of Yourselves podcast. Uh. If you

0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:24.560
<v Speaker 1>want to learn more about the foreign legion, you can

0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:26.840
<v Speaker 1>type that word or those words into the search bar

0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:29.840
<v Speaker 1>how stuffworks dot com and that will bring up this

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:33.160
<v Speaker 1>fine article. There you go. And I said search bars,

0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:34.760
<v Speaker 1>it was time for listener mail. I guess before we

0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:36.800
<v Speaker 1>get into that chuck, you want a message from our sponsor.

0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:41.840
<v Speaker 1>And now it's time for listener mail. Uh. This is

0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:45.840
<v Speaker 1>from Donato and it's about autopsies. Dudes, just finished listening

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:48.120
<v Speaker 1>to the autopsies work. I wanted to mention a couple

0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:51.000
<v Speaker 1>of things. I'm currently in law enforcement and have attended

0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:53.280
<v Speaker 1>a few of them. My first one was really fascinating.

0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:55.879
<v Speaker 1>The emmy tried to get me to vomit by handing

0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.720
<v Speaker 1>me a brain the past to his assistant, but it

0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:01.000
<v Speaker 1>actually really turned out to be extre really exciting for me,

0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:05.159
<v Speaker 1>So screw you, Emmy, I'm not vomiting. Look at me,

0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm juggling in s brand Um. I wanted to point

0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:10.200
<v Speaker 1>out you did not mention the extraction of vitreous fluid

0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:13.679
<v Speaker 1>from the eyeballs using a needle. That part was a

0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:16.400
<v Speaker 1>little freaky to me, I have to admit, and after

0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:18.440
<v Speaker 1>a couple of times asked why it was done, which

0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:29.600
<v Speaker 1>leads me to toxico toxicological toxicological examination. Fluids and samples

0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:32.760
<v Speaker 1>from some organs are sent for examination in these cases. Uh,

0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:34.960
<v Speaker 1>and in my experience, emmys will not provide a final

0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:39.719
<v Speaker 1>autopsy before toxicology results come back. And lastly, the difference

0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:42.119
<v Speaker 1>between cause and manner of death c O D and

0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:45.119
<v Speaker 1>m O D Uh. They are used interchangeably often, but

0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:48.880
<v Speaker 1>c O D is the physiological mechanism responsible for death,

0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.520
<v Speaker 1>where m O D is the explanation how the c

0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:54.240
