It's called yes, well, K e p, I pronounced Katy and they still where those. And you know that it's a tradition that is still true today, the whole flat cap for stiff and rigid yeah Anna there are always have the capes. You know when there,

out where they need them. They will, while the reason that they would have them is because, for the better part of two centuries the french Foreign Legion was station in Algeria and the reason they were stationers, because that's what Headquarters were almost from the moment of conception of this. This military group yeah and the reason they were station therefrom inception was because they were we're bunch of near dwell criminals. Yet in many cases- and so there, like you, know it s a great and your super tough. Let's move you to Algeria yet to help our colonization efforts and get you out of France Do you want her history first yeah well, today must talk about that. I just for one sector over their seven thousand two hundred and eighty six legionnaires as of December of last year to twenty twelve, and I did a date to the date state. Thirty five thousand and dine battle over the years. I saw that do not that bad, but it's a small group,

of the seven thousand isn't much right end there. They are the fighting force in the world that has seen more continuous action than any other really gotta fight caused. We ve been fighting constantly what their bad debt yeah like there, they even say in this article. In there, well known to be much tougher than the regular french army right, because they're, not french, other examples, much that has to do with but their known for being tufted you're in there also a special forces unit near basically, no women when we say did, we can say, did yeah there's, never been a fridge foreign legionnaires,

the woman now and dumb they are. They ve, been in just about every conflict that the French have been about since eighteen. Thirty, and did you know that the fridge Foreign Legion invaded Mexico in eighteen sixty one instead, there till eighteen sixty five when they are? Finally being back, I didn't yeah. They tried to assassinate the President uninstall in Austria, imprints. They Maximilian as the ruler of Mexico, set it up as a french puppet. I wonder if that any influence on the culturally speaking, I don't know, I don't even see much free stuff pop up in Mexico, like you do in like Vietnam, during that colonial period, Indo Sheen, Hello, stuff!

Well, eighteen, thirty Josh Material story about a guy named King Louis Elite,

is known as the July revolution. He replaced King Charles ten ex here. And after the the bourbon monarchy Fell- and this was parisian. Radicals were involved in Essen over So, even though he was made king in large part because of these radicals and because radicalism, these radicals words, of guys, and one of them were you know, brought in this criminal element in some cases there, and you know that want to see they were bad guys, but maybe they were bad guys. Well, the year the King Louis Felipe thought that they were a threat to the monarchy, because you know he had got into the term

These radicals and attract the radicals from all over Europe, in a lot of whom were very soldier like yeah, and he was like our former soldiers rooted in he said, woken France me figure out what to do with you. I can't legally make you a part of the french army yeah so about I just make a foreign legion made up of foreign dissidents for inaction. And dumb cinema elsewhere, and the four pretty happy that plan. That was the march of eighteen, thirty one. He laid out his eight articles and pretty much. That was what the foreign Legion was. Who they were to be? Where of their rights, to train? What were they to wear and a lot of the traditions were established in the very first set of articles, pleaded in that check was one that says that you had to arm to check for a birth certificate, a certificate of good life manners.

In a certificate from a military. Thirty saying that this person is a good soldier and had to have all that. If you're going to accept the recruit that or if it was up to the confidence, russian yeah. That reminded me like be a paragraph in illegal contract. This has all these things and the varying little say like, or we could change your mind about all that So, basically, we need all these papers and documents, and that was in article, seven article six. Then the seventh article said let him and if you do, you now have a good feeling. Right about them exactly know about the paper so much, and that led to this thing called them. And none marked and on a marked, yes, which is anonymity in French, and it says that you can join the french Foreign Legion under an assumed

because we're going to give you an assumed name, one way or another. We have first year of your service in the french Foreign Legion. You need to basically to take on soon, name, you're, leaving your old identity behind, and it's a really strange unusual aspect of the following legion that still exist today, yeah it in fact was mandatory until just a few years ago, until two thousand and ten, you had to sign up under a different name, and then at the end of that year, you go through process. Called mill. Very regular evaluation of the situation which basically met. You could get your old papers back from your home country and go back to your old right and you can still do all that it is not mandatory any longer. No, but a lot of guys, it's like the fresh start. You know, yeah, that's what you're looking for a lot of

Men who join the army and not one of them every country, that's one of the things that the french Foreign Legion town twinning when you join it that were a place. You can have a second chance. Forget your pass. Even forget your name under criminal records. I mean back in the day. They would accept major criminals. Now there are little more selective in the overlook like a minor criminal record, but nothing like that warnings of murders and things like that right and for a very long time. They would accept nothing, no one but foreign nationals. You couldn't be french, enjoying the french foreign media. You can join the army, but not the foreign leads it right and they recently changed ass. He can be french enjoying it right yeah and you can gain your front. Citizenship is a foreign national by serving what three years three years in good standing here, and that we cannot go back your regional Nathan, stuff yeah you if you're going to get citizens should be

can't do it on a year yet declared name right. I'm in your talking about them, the most called where you go through that that. Process about military, regular relation of the situation right, we're name for an aging is really is, but it's not just an ancient is basically like that represents the end of your first year represents the end of the french Foreign Legion owning you during this time. During your first year, you cannot have. Civilian bank account you can't get married, you can't wear civilian clothes, even off duty. You can't buy a car. You can't travel abroad on leave to anywhere, but France, you have to wear uniform you all the time sums in some former fasten. You have to wear uniforms so yet some day new for the first year is definitely harder than the french army. Like you said yeah, whatever

that is, if you're married and you join the French Horn Legion you have to. Does a single man right, so I don't know. I guess you can remain married technically, but the paper say that you're, a single man, I would imagine if you run off to the French. Legion Europe, in a marriage, my fiance ground, as it is, are you not married the others could point out of like already married man? Do you like a very family supportive place, is kind of like oh you are getting away from a situation, something like that I'm gonna have to deny your existence and change my name right, It's really worth it because I want to be of legionnaires this and where the Katy right and gain the respect of the French. You think it's getting! Well, you know, what's funny as they are, I read an article article in the December two thousand of Vanity Fair, called the expendable is pretty interesting. It's about the French, where Legion,

You now, yes, also that you remember in our gold episode, talked about It was a gold mining. Indiana were apparently one of the things the Farley's is doing now. Is there fighting those gold minors now shutting down? That's one of the things are doing because Afghanistan's winding down for the French, so their cattle looking for new stuff to do an Atlantic Lukashka beat up right. Your first that contract, if you join up his allegiance air, is a minimum of five years and pay for a corporal starting out is one thousand forty three, I guess euros per month, plus of course Siena all women port, but that Europe take on pay. Around about taken that your salary and you get forty five days leave and then you know there is a path to prosperity to some degree in success. Just like any other army. You work your way up through the off

ranks and after that first vivier successive contracts are six months to five years and I am not sure how they determine that, whether it's up to you like, if you like, I just wanted to six months at a time your guys, gotcha or I'm not sure I couldn't actually find any information on that if they like. No, you, you must sign for three years Six months whatever, yet there like your party, be dead by then any wiser keep all your euros so that article one of the things I was that I came across is that the key? the legionnaires view themselves and apparently are viewed by the French as that's why the articles called the expend both as basically there did to fight and kill and die

and that there is a lot of honour in dying, even if it's a necessarily but they're just the kind of our nihilistic. I get the impression anarchy. They even use that word nihilists. I really well it did he added nothing else. Guy did report of the article there and they said it normal people dont joined the french religion rightly said there I'll just a little little off yeah, which um you no good, a bitter tufted and are displaying the spanish trade. The same thing in eighteen, twenty, two, twenty four danish Foreign Legion any didn't take so now is called the spanish Legion. It's made up of Spaniards, yet in some folks say America

something like a foreign legion with the influx of non Americans in this country. Right maybe serve under our regular armies, and now I'm not that ever been pitched patches. Citizenship should be in the dream act yeah. Why not do I don't know? I'm sure people be like this is why not you can email is laid here I didn't considered it came to my head began us. Now I wanna cavy I'll, get you a favor, the amateur. When those relate hip in the eighties, with the break dancing, yeah awesome so funny what different cultures latch onto from different areas. Yes, yes, somebody said that will look very cool and I'm doing ahead. Spin here in the Katy was adopted. Awesome Breakin Ohio, like the painters gap, when I was growing up the painters cap

the bicycle caps were very big and eightys? Oh yeah, the bite care foot the bill for they had a couple of like Italians at a sort of social. What was the name of that? One brand that everybody had bike? Had you not talking about a track now? It was a friend's name, I believe, an out. I think I had one now similar to the right hand, Germano or something, but it wasn't. She had her knees and energy means gonna come to me. I wonder if it is japanese I'll bet, it's italian or something, and I am saying its definition. Oh yeah. I love it when we do these things out, where we can't think some, because we always get emails, were people like, oh dreaming in my name or Cyprus, Campanella Kingpin Ali genocides close.
