Damn this is getting good.

[racrguy]

He became an officer at 16 but the war ended to quickly for him to go very high. He went to law school between the wars and was a partner in his firm because he was one of the men that founded it. He joined the Legion because they recruited him. He died playing golf, at 96. He also had a PhD in economics and spoke half a dozen languages.

Motherfucker, you don't gotta lie to kick it.

Somebody tell this bitch to be cool!

Flew space ships, discovered America, and founded apple.

That was between ww2 and Nam no doubt, but before getting his PhD in economics

[71chevellejohn]

Well obviously they went out of their way to recruit him... with a resume like his, how could they not?!

So after becoming a German officer between the ages of 14-18, he then joined the French Foreign Legion at the age of 45 even though their age limit for newcomers is 39, then at the age of around 84 (since he soldiered for 70 yrs and we'll just say he became a German officer at 14), went to law school and made partner for a few years until dying at the age of 96?

That's a bad mother fucker

I'd put Caitlyn on ignore, but the shit he says keeps getting better and better. He's clearly the underachiever in his family, what with having a 2MM revenue business and all.....

He died in 1996 at 96 years of age and was a German officer in both world wars.

He joined the Legion after WWII and fought is southeast asia

soldiering was kind of his "Thing" off and on for nearly 70 years.

After the Legion he did consulting work and worked at a law firm that he was partners in.

You're forgetting to add Harry Truman to that fiasco.. Father Ho asked for meetings with Harry to help solve that lil problem but Harry refused.. If ya really wanna dig, do some research on our stupidity with Britain and France in the middle east..

I fully agree. From the British offering bad deals to Bedouins to the Palestine Mandate, it's all messy.

The French could've given the Vietnamese their freedom, and we wouldn't have had a Vietnam war. Your grandfather also may have participated in a bunch of the bullshit brushfire wars the Foreign Legion got involved in, in Africa. Some people I actually know in the real world were working as civilian attaches in Algeria when some of those chickens came home to roost.

Sure. It all makes sense now.

He did some stuff in Africa but I don't know what. That is what attracted me to the continent in my teens; plus he financed the trip. I learned my lesson though. After the Legion he did consulting work and worked at a law firm that he was partners in.

[YALE]

No it is not.



He was fighting in Vietnam and was doing quite well when the press got wind of former SS officers fighting for the French so all of the Germans were kicked out. His son, my father, was killed in Vietnam in 1970 and that bothered him until his dying breath. If the French had let the German veterans keep fighting there would not have been a Vietnam war; or at least that was his belief.
