Hi Chasseur,

Your French is excellent.

I agree the foreign legion is always offering a stunning show. A slow solemn march with the bearded sappers in front bearing an ax on the left shoulder, wearing the white kepi and the leather apron and a shaggy billy goat as mascot.

For the rest, it makes me think of the Soviet parad on the Red place, the missiles apart. The excessive show a country displays before collapsing.

You are too kind
