    Deep in the Jungle with the French Foreign Legion

    I don't normally post here, but I thought this might be of interest to some. Popular Mechanics has an article about the FFL in French Guiana. I couldn't find it posted already, apologies if it has been.

    PM goes to South America to find France's elite jungle warriors readying for a deadly new phase of a hidden conflict. Their targets: black market gold miners who have killed French officers.

    Thanks! Nice to see an article that is so recent.
    Do what thy manhood bids thee do, from none but self expect applause;
    He noblest lives and noblest dies who makes and keeps his self-made laws.
