A big thanks to the French forces who helped evacuate American kids from a battleground in Africa. (Ivory Coast)

Are they still called the French Foreign Legion?

YAY! But why didn´t the school move the children out earlier? The uprising can´t have come as a surprise...

Yep, that's still the name, always in the frontlines, but noone hardly ever mentions them.

And, ironically, very few of them (in the Legion) are actually French.

The French troops I saw on the TV weren't actually from the FFL, but I'm sure they were there.

Don't do that to them. They barely survived Louis de Funes.
