From: godot.RadOnc.UNC.EDU!thorn@mcnc.org (Jesse Thorn) A friend and I were wondering if the French Foreign Legion were still in existence. I seem to remember that the organization was disbanded awhile back and then recently reformed. Does it still exists? If so, what has it been used for in recent years? Thanks Jesse Thorn thorn@godot.radonc.unc.edu

From: "Ami A. Silberman" <silber@cs.uiuc.edu> The legion still exists, M magazine had a recent article (about two years ago) on it with lots of glossy photos. It's been used in Zaire in the 70's, I'm not sure what else more recently. You can probably get more information from the nearest French consulate or embassy. By the way, it probably is illegal for US citizens to join the legion without renouncing their citizenship.
