Bluewolf is indeed correct. ORAC, I choose to ignore your researched facts and and stick with the much more entertaining xenophobia and pomposity. And so any other ostriches can support a blatant disregard for facts:
The French Foreign Legion is >90% manned by brits who found the British Army too tough and have opted for the easy option.
You can now say that 'somewhere' you saw that the Foreign Legion is over 90% manned by brits who found the British Army too tough and so you can feel justified in airing your views. OK, admittedly, I just made that quote up, but what's wrong with that?
