Been discussion of a US version of the Foreign Legion floating around for years... I would STRONGLY ADVOCATE the idea... given our propensity for sending US military forces on peacekeeping missions all over the world and our apparent unwillingness to absorb losses. And who knows... maybe before all is said and done, someone might advance that idea. I would also like a coupld of brigades of Ghurkas.. They would be rich men on a private's pay, and would be quite nice for missions where maximum intimidation is required and a "don't screw with us" mentality are paramount. 10 years service, automatic US citizenship (which they probably wouldn't utilize since they'd go home to Nepal)... It was the smartest thing the Brits have ever done.. Ghurkas are some of the most intimidating military societies around.. And fiercely loyal, and honorable. Hawk
