Can She Survive French Foreign Legion Training (Marine Reacts) 

Every phisical standard was lowered to enable women to be up to scratch

Why so the yanks can stick their noses into more business that doesn't concern them? Fk you guys need to mind your own business

Yes it has...and women should not, under any circumstances, be allowed in high-load combat arms units (Infantry, special operations, etc.). These MOS's are meant for men. Sorry...our bodies are different. 1) Hygeine requirements for women vs. men. 2) Men are built to carry more. 3) Men are more emotionally equipped to deal with battlefield situations.

@@davidweyer79 lmfao malakas like you who still think they live in the 60s/70s have no clue what so ever. How about America for once minds its own business and just fks off completely...sounds good Idiots have anything and everything possible whats next huh a colon force or maybe even a fallopian tube spec ops?

Yes, I’ve witnessed it myself. Standards have to drop to allow women to physically do the training. Push ups or press ups for example. Females don’t have to do the same as men. Fitness tests are different. They’re a burden in the field with toiletry needs, over emotional & inappropriate relationships do happen effecting moral. Standards in the British military have dropped to accommodate women 100% they had to.

love the idea but the implementation in the usa would be a complete s-show

@@JamesonsTravels At the present time, that is likely.

I believe for the US to do that it would pose more national security problems than actually solve any.

No kidding. Too much work for French citizenship. Might as well just schlep across the Mexico-US border and get citizenship for free...

@@AgeDrain true but then again what’s the difference between that and green card seekers or hell your own citizens? It’s the same risk, anyone can be a spy or a threat to national security. This idea would only be a problem because of optics nothing to do with security threats.

Haha was this back in 2015. One of my friends completed it. She told me she would never do anything like that again. Then she went EOD.

@@imaXkillXya no way before that. I served two tours of duty in Iraq (2003-2005) so this would have been in 2001 or so.

I think the surest way of demonstrating the differences is to have a long-term war game between all female and all male units. I've no doubt that the male units will prevail, particularly if the operations are of long duration.

Females make good pilots though. Flying helicopters and such.

@@samuelshin593 I don't know, because I've never seen an objective physiologically valid study comparing women to men in aircraft combat operations. No one wants to do direct comparisons to determine the most combat effective personnel because it's not politically correct to state that there are differences.

Mine too, armory in Holyoke Massachusetts.

Shes a national treasure

My grandmother delivered three healthy boys for the future war. She is a national hero.

@@markorsrpska7230 Dumb 'cannon fodder' award goes to... She could've been separated. Specially Selected fit 'fathers' plant Super Seeds.

Fantastic point, we all contribute meaningfully wherever we are best suited. Those munitions workers were a Godsend at that time. Female medical staff saved tens of thousands of soldiers at least. Many of them lost their lives as well, all deserve respect.

i never want to experience this lmao

oh that sounds lovely.

Happens in Finland every year to few jaegers. But it's The way IT goes

thats an interesting note.

As a US Marine I wish I had a chance to try to earn the White Cap. 😎

@@REVOLVER_NOIR If you decide not to remain in the Corps, you can still join the Foreign Legion until you are 39 years old. So, if you are still in that age range, then the possibility still exists. You never know.

And that's a good thing. The Legion is still officially hard. No "Emma and her 2 mums" merde there.

100% correct mate. He's going by the French armed forces allowing women to join by law but the legion still selects and I've seen people booted from selection for being Romanian 😳

copy paste much?

Nice copy

Get comfortable being uncomfortable

Agreed, she’s clearly been broken and instead of finding that next gear, drive or strength, she dealt with it wrong, pretty much from the start. I love starting a yomp and identifying who will go down throughout… It’s pretty easy to more or less identify every single person who’s gonna go down.

@@1993j right, I have spent some time helping train recruits and you can generally idenity with a 90% certitiany who is gonna crumple.

Imagine how scared and confused the enemy combatants will be though. It's mental warfare

@@1993j yeah I'm sure it's not hard to do whatever you did. 10 percent probably don't make it.

ya still one hell of a girl

@@andyeveritt9003 still not good enough and that’s what matters

To have passed everything else is still something. With that grit, you'd make it anywhere and everywhere else

@@DrAndrewHutchings you're not wrong . When it comes to saving lives you only want the best. But I've never had anyone I've helped say no thanks I'll wait. 😆😆 So there's that.

I want to do search and rescue now

I thought so, because the ffl is only for men. No females, and it should remain something unique and exclusive for troubled men who just want a second chance.

@@mtango9985 they're not *that* troubled. Minor scrapes with the law are okay, but serious criminals are unwelcome.

so its like the U.S Ranger School

agree. seen some standouts BUT mostly fall outs anytime its been a big ground hump or physical event. tough course in this one.

Never seen it, just like a unicorn 🦄

But that has nothing to do with being a grunt that's a specialized job

How long ago was that?

One thing women excel at is endurance swimming.

Also just to clarify, both females ‘completed’ the commando training course, but they both failed and did not get a pass mark, therefore they will not have the right to wear the badge (‘brevet’) and their military record as Officer Cadets will carry a mention of ‘FAIL’.

When officers and enlisted train together, the officers are more likely to be harassed more the enlisted since the instructors here are probably NCOs. Officers are taught to lead by example. Also, there is a chance that the officer cadets here will be leading the NCO instructors in combat, so the NCOs are probably being hard also out of self-preservation.

known several but the SA guys who spent time in the ffl were hard af back in the 90s. zero slack.

My Uncle who lives Las Vegas he's got poker buddy who I met and played cards with was ex French Foreign Legionnaire and he's also a Retired San Bernardino Sheriff's Deputy. Cool dude told me he Parachuted into the Congo once didn't say much after that.

@@jldog134 Search "Battle of Kolwezi". He was probably there.

i am a fan of the legion. know some SA guys who did the legion for decades. hard af.

we are already have it in PT standards and high weight/body fat.

Yup. I'm not a tall, muscular guy. I was 5'8"/140-145lb when I shipped from MEPS. I got to boot camp already able to max the IST. I maxed the PFT, swim qual, and shot Expert. I graduated at about 150lb. I went to MCT and was Platoon Pull-Up Stud and Iron Mike there. I graduated MVOC at around 160-165lb. I EAS'd at about 180-185lb, still maxing the PFT. Military life seemed generally easier for me than most troops around me because I busted my a$$ to stay ready while I was in. I trained martial arts, practiced at local ranges, worked as a bouncer, swam and surfed, offroaded, mtn biked, did running/triathlon events, etc. I was less fatigued than others, so I was able to focus on learning. I could haul my load and somebody else's. I could keep a cool head and haul a Marine out of a strong current or cool down an unconscious heatstroke casualty without skipping a beat or freaking out. I had a few regular training buddies that were similar. Our little group was generally 1st Class PFTers, 1st Class or WSQ swimmers, martial arts students, offroaders, etc. Why somebody would go into infantry-type training without physically preparing themselves, at least a little bit, is beyond me. Playing COD every day for 5yrs straight doesn't prepare your body. People can die from just training alone. Prepare accordingly. It's not about being a bada$$. Even bada$$es aren't bulletproof or invincible. Hell, 2 Seals even DROWNED during the invasion of Grenada, and those guys swim like fish. It's about being able to accomplish whatever mission is assigned and looking out for the general welfare of your fellow troops. If you can't keep up in the field, choose a vocation that doesn't go to the field. The military NEEDS clerks, cooks, techs, analysts, hospital staff, drone pilots, diplomats, linguists, etc. If you have a calling to be a hero, but you'd be a physical liability in the field, become a hospital doctor/nurse. Become a virologist or similar, working with dangerous pathogens. Teach CPR/1st Aid. WORLD SOCIETY needs your kind of people...People who give a crap about others. Enough of a crap to actually DO something positive occasionally.

@@RKmndo My cousin was SF and knew some the guys that went with the military doctors and nurses that went to deal with that ebola outbreak a few years back. Said those docs and nurses had big ones after just a glimpse of what ebola does to someone SF guys were like no effing way were they getting close to that crap.

100%

So all women units could work? There is a series about women simply serving and dying too and not nurses and drivers but infantry during WWII.

@@maxotaurus5140 a unit of children or teenagers could also work, does that mean we should pursue this option? It is not the way of women to be in war. Society should steer away from this adverse option.

@@shlamushaaretz5357 Society should steer away from war period🙂

@@shlamushaaretz5357 the Russians had the right idea, women make fantastic snipers, it’s a biological thing, mens eyes are better at tracking moving targets, whereas women are better at noticing hidden things in the environment I don’t think women can’t or shouldn’t serve, however I think the roles they serve in should only be the ones they are suited for

Thanks for context, Delphine!

​ @Boiled Octopus You're welcome ! For better context, I need to correct myself: some officers will need to pass this course to access a certain "job", however this is rare, most can attend and fail without consequences. For the students, passing this course is a great accomplishment as the legion's training is very well respected by the French military.

Thank you. But I still think this is a complete waste of good resources. For example - I would like to be doctor ! Does that mean that - despite the fact that Im too grumpy, too old, too ugly, wrong attitude, and dont have the entrance grades for doctor school anyway .... but because 'I Want' ... does that mean I should be allowed to attend advanced doctor school, and do experimental surgery on patients - 'Because I Want' nah ... probably wouldnt let me in.

@@steveoc64 ​ @steveoz As a medical student myself, your example made perfect sens to me ! And I tend to agree with you. Ultimately the goal is to form officers that can "lead in any situations" and lead by example. I believe it's a good way to force comissioned officers to gain some "real life" skills. But there shoud be a pre-selection so no recources are wasted. I'm unaware if some exist right now.

Next time, they should try to find someone with three moms. I am sure at least one of the women can find another role in a military, and that's assuming they really knew what they were signing up for to begin with.

Yeah, i think too many womans if they workout like a motherfucker doing a lot of pull ups etc can be in a really good spot with other man if they want.

Could help that as far as I can tell, they’re also French, nationals always get a bit more slack

So in other words, they failed.

any type of federal service to show the newbies to the country give a sh1t

Just make sure you don't end up training your enemies

@@dapigudemao Exactly! In the French Foreign Legion, they reject a lot of applicants during the interview / investigation process mostly due to past drug-related crimes and other illicit activities.

Humidity can kill very easily. A mere 40% humidity is enough to almost mitigate everything your sweat does for cooling you off, causing a helluva overheating.

the course looks like it will try anyone. been down there and other jungles its tough once you get any blister to keep it from getting infected.

There is still room for you to serve as a volunteer in plenty of places where you live. Never stop helping others and learning new things to improve yourself.

No, this is disgraceful and she should be punished by being chained to the kitchen for a year at the very least.

Ha ha. Fact! My Mom was on a first-name basis with everyone in the emergency room.

Not only the boys! I was all for climbing (and jumping out of) trees, go cart racing, etc., and even at 51 I’d still rather go clambering over rocks and jumping into rock pools, instead of boring coffee mornings, although I’m slower now. I intend to continue to do so and show my grandchildren of both sexes how much fun can be had doing the same.

@@kp7032 that’s not that point😂 there’s a place for everyone, females are great at hands medical procedures on and intelligence work. the average male can’t pass military pt standards because they didn’t continue to get bumps, bruises, and scraps, don’t workout and expect to make it. With that being said a female has to work 10 times more than the AVERAGE male which isn’t much. I respect all women who serve especially the ones who find a fitting field to work in, I just joined and see plenty of women in the intelligence sectors something my dumbass can’t do Lol

Never mind the officers. No NCO or legionnaire would ever accept them. In fact too many would just desert out of sheer spite.

we basically had it during the civil war with new immigrants.

Well with all the Mexicans coming through and how many Hispanics join the military, why not?

It would be Phillipino I think.

American 'Foreign Legion' existed in Korean war !.

Yeah we do it's called the US military lmao open for all green card holders to be citizens

Absolutely true mate, but be careful you might offend some idiot not in the military who thinks they have the right to have an opinion on the subject, when they don’t…

@@YaMrsisGopping 🤣 ikr so many people have an opinion and they’ve never even smelled gunpowder😂🫠

Bigot hahahahaha only messin..Troudung would defo sacrafise them in the name of diversity...

@@160thsoar6 Kindly go into battle nude and without weapons and stop crying for the medic. Evidently, anecdotes to you are more important than something that's based on actual research. Gotta love people with gunpowder where the rest of humanity has brains.

If that is what sexist is, then many of us are.

Every candidate on every commando course (jungle, desert, mountain, etc.) can have a 24 hour rest period for injuries that the medic deems not serious enough to merit cease training. Second, and this is kind of unique to the French Army, those ladies didn't pass, they finished. In the French Army, when you do a commando course, you have to finish it unless you're either medically withdrawn or the DS kick you off course. If you don't meet the standard, they tell you you're not going to pass, but you still have to ride it out with the rest of your course. Neither failure to perform not quitting will get you off course. Oh, you quit on the first test? That's nice. Now go finish the course and you can watch the rest of your platoon receive their qualification badges at the end, but you won't get yours.

i am a big fan of the FFL. Meet some SA gents who spent time there. Squared away hard af men.

I served with guys from Philippines, NZ, Russia, Mexico, Vietnam, etc.

same. the course looks brutal and know some fellows that did it during the 80s. they say its a real challenge NOT to get a med drop for infection (feet). all i meet hid any complaints.

tough training will have the pack turn on the weak link of any sex

That makes too much sense.

Yeah well not everyone who joins is interested in American style freedom, they just want to escape their country or a bad situation. I would be ok with a special unit comprised of Europeans. America is culturally and majority population of European origin. If we get too many foreigners in who do not share the same values and have the same devotion to their own kind then they will be a big problem.

@@huwhitecavebeast1972 but then they wouldn't want to join anyway and likely wouldn't even pass.

shoulder always looked insanely painful when i have seen it set.

because we don't live in star ship troopers

Way too many of those men coming to France in boats are young, fit, clean cut guys of perfect military age. So not pulling probable terrorists into the toughest military training France has makes sense to me. Now if your immigration could understand that every one of those soldier looking guys is a possible ticking time bomb they'd turn them back.

So they won't cry and bitch when they have to do this in combat, also if this terrain is what they are in combat in it'll increase their survival rate.

IDF trains women. The USA trains women to be MPs, and also for Public Affairs, which can fall under SF/SOG. Women can also be military pilots.

Or better yet let medical do it. Never let your buddy do it unless you in combat.

Then tell me why the woman stayed outside? could that have someting to do with the male "cops"?

I see a lot of cops that don't seem ready for physical conflict, male AND female. San Diego is one of the few PDs that maintains PF standards after the academy, but a LOT of SD officers are former Marines. I see a lot of cops that could benefit from better continued COTUS, Criminal Code, grappling, and firearms training too. It might keep more of them out of trouble. Women cops are needed though, as are ethnic minority cops. Searches/Counsels of women should be done by women. Ethnic enclave areas should have at least a few cops on patrol of that ethnicity.

Ugh

Lmfao another delusional Muppet

Yeah, it's insane every branch of US military, police, fire Depts and more have lowered their standards for women. If you are just as good and equal as men do what theem can. But they can't so in order to fill quotas these organizations are forced to lower standards. I'm sorry if my house is on fire I want a man that can lift me up and carry me out. Not a woman who o ly has to drag a body a short distance instead. We are risking our lives for the sake of wokeisms!

Disagree. I'm sure there are woman who make great soldiers, but there shouldn't be a lowering of standards because your a woman.

How about for the men who can’t do it. Being a true soldier is whoever can do it job

@@generalwarhammer9722 lets be honest, fit men can do it, unfit men no, fittest of fittest women dont make it.... Women just are biologically not meant to do this
