Amid that shared misery, Salazar formed a bond with his fellows, thugs though many of them were. In your house you can kick the dog, ... But if I kick your dog, that's a different story. Once you leave the Foreign Legion gates, every man with a kepi blanc is your brother, without question. I can rest assured that if I was ever in any trouble in the south of France there'd be about 20 legionnaires backing me up. And to this day if I see a legionnaire on the street, he's my brother.
More Quotes from Jaime Salazar:
The physical training was harsh. A seven-day march earned enlistees the right to wear the kepi blanc. You're marching on bloody feet, ... You approach insanity.Jaime Salazar
The legion sticks to traditional methods of instruction. A savage punch to the stomach helps most officers make their point, followed by a knee to the face if the recruit objects. Soldiers are put through a punishing physical routine of forced marches with heavy loads, marathon runs of no determined distance, or convict-style projects like filling a vast pit with boulders that have to be lifted by hand. This ain't an army, ... This is Devil's Island.
Jaime Salazar
Theft was common. It's the law of the playground, ... a journey back to boyhood, where if you wanted somebody's sandwich you beat him up and took it.
