ruso Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I did not serve in the legion, I did mountain troops, but it looks impressive, the Spanish legionnaires are not renowned for good people, but good soldiers. I think God will have this in mind. Holy Week in Spain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hobrEtFXA8c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthfinder Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Found on wikipedia: Legionaries consider themselves novios de la muerte ("bridegrooms of death"). The legion's motto was ¡Viva la muerte! ("Long live death!")[9] It fell into disuse after the death of Francisco Franco. If I'm not mistaken, the French Legionnaires also have/or had, some almost fatalistic attitudes towards death in battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
