Cringe. I hope that the military stuff gets better as the story progresses.

 

[Reishin]

No helmets, no proper coordination or communications, no recons, no back over, no proper formation... Author should've at least done some military research before writing this.

Thanks for the translation.

It's even worse than that. First of all the premise of this serie is shit as the Légion wouldn't glorify a single soldier or let it happens, it goes against it's core principle. Also Légionnaires aren't. Fucking. Mercenaries. They're "regular" soldiers of the french military, not some civilians with guns working for a PMC.
Also it's neither the good camo pattern, the trucks used by the french army nor the gun used to replace the Famas.

@Earl_Earlington it's just a power fantasy like GATE or Solo Leveling but made by a guy that doesn't have a clue

 

[z3ta311]

Ah yes the Hollywood Military Syndrome.

 

[thekidsareminnowkaren]

what even???

 

[eureur]

why the fuck would you run into fire LOL

 

[Spookie]

Breh, if the GOB is afraid. You should be shitting your pants.

 

[Huapollon]

@Earl_Earlington The hilarious part is that they actually got the HK416 right in the credit page. Probably they felt the HK416 is too annoying to draw and just went with a generic assault rifle in the later scenes?

 

[Paru]

god this is feeling like a shitty game of arma where no one knows what theyre doing

@Earl_Earlington
Correct, the FFL (French Foreign Legion or in its original language "Légion Étrangère Française") isn't a mercenary group.
It's a french independent ground forces army corps, sponsored by the french government to increase its international reach.
Soldiers are recruited un-dependent of nationality (they do some background check however) and let the enlisted get the french nationality as they finish their service.
Their equipment, like you said are misrepresented.

It's sad to see this much misrepresentation while the FFL are known for their valor, camaraderie, sense of duty and proficiency.

 

[Cabaras]

Oui.

 

[ZaToby]

@Le_Flemard

Yeah, from what I've heard the French Foreign Legion is highly respected by the French people because as one of their members you are basically going out of your way and throwing away previous allegiances to fight in the name of France and its people.

Highlights of chapter 1
Oh, we're being shot. Turn around to give a speech to your team immediately, instead of using hand sign or just yelling.
Oh, friend is hit. Risk your life and drag his soon-to-be corpse through literal gunfire so he can die peacefully behind a tree.
Oh, friend is dying while you're being shot. Give him a pep talk and let them shoot you. Don't shoot back.
Oh, everyone is dying from being shot. I guess the only choice is to run straight towards the gunfire!

Let's also not wear helmets so that we can get shot in the back of the head and allow the plot to progress.

Can't take this seriously.

 

[ZayB]

I was about to start furiously typing away about how idiotic he was being, but then it said he got shot from behind.. 😑I'll let you go this time..

 

[Jdikr]

Ok but...Helmets Tho...they act like Helmets weren’t a thing lol well it prolly wouldnt have done much since he got sniped,but still u can never be too safe.

Cigarette before night fight? This is nonsense. When you light the cigarette they can be seen from dozen KM away. And the smell of smoke can be fatal to operation. It is common sense of soldier.
