Legionnaire, you are a volunteer serving France with honor and fidelity. I can scratch the dirt with my fingernail, it's not good, it's not a refugee home here ok ? Clear eyes, clean shaven, impeccable like a proper legionnaire The faster we get there the faster we'll be able to rest for tomorrow's march Ok ? You are motivated ? Sure thing... Here in the Legion, there's no room for pity, no room for weakness, you can't show your weaknesses Get up ! come on ! Hurry up ! It's far from over ! Bulbs everywhere cause of the heat It's up to you to show what you can do in order to deserve your white kepi and to show with your heart what you can do for the glory of the Legion and for your host country, France. That's good ! In the Legion, only the group matters, only together will you be able to overcome the difficulties and reach your goal. Each legionnaire is your brother in arms whatever his nationality, his race or his religion might be. You show him the same close solidarity that links the members of the same family. Respect for traditions, devotion to your leaders, discipline and comradeship are your strengths, courage and loyalty your virtues. You can't make 20 push ups ? What are you doing, where's your determination ? Show me your determination ! Proud of your status as legionnaire, you display this in your always impeccable uniform, your always dignified but modest behaviour, and your clean living quarters. An elite soldier, you train rigorously, you maintain your weapon as your most precious possession, and you take constant care of your physical form. The mission is sacred, you carry it out until the end and, if necessary in the field, at the risk of your life. - So you can be attacked by insurgents any moment, aren't you afraid ? - No. No. - You don't know fear in the Legion ? - Of course everybody is afraid, but you've got to learn to control it. - Fire ! - Aren't you afraid of dying ? - No, I believe in god, I'm not afraid to die. In combat, you act without passion and without hate, you respect defeated enemies, and you never abandon your dead, your wounded, or your arms. It's not over ! You understand ! Move forward ! Look at death in the eyes, don't lower your eyes ! Neither before god nor before death ! Look at me, like this, show agressivity ! Hit him harder ! Come on ! Hit harder, I can't feel anything ! Life is a neverending fight, there's no such thing as retirement for a legionnaire. Retirement is like a slow death. - A legionnaire is a legionnaire for life ? - For his whole life. A legionnaire is like a firefighter or a medic, we share values, we have great ideals. We protect the future of our children, the new generation. - Silence !!! - It's frightening right ? It's better to be frightening than to inspire pity. That's why we have to be ready to kill... and to die. - What do you feel when you think about your fallen comrades ? - Those are still good souvenirs because they died for a good cause and... - ...that's it.
