John Emmons

Most of the French Foriegn legion are actually not French.

Hence the name?

IIRC, the Foreign Legion was called that because it had standing orders
to NEVER be stationed on homeland French soil.

For real toughness, without bluster, I would go for the British Royal
Marines. I met a few of them when I was in USMC. Impressive types,
almost no bull**** or chicken****, just well trained and rugged.
