Watching a documentary in the background when doing an assignment, I heard about the French Foreign Legion. They supposedly have 12 times more applicants than positions. They are elite and don’t ask questions just hard work and loyalty.
The Australian military has recruitment problems, especially fit determined individuals who are prepared to sign their lives away for five years at a time.
We hear constantly about the queue of people who want to become Australian citizens.
My theory is why don’t we combine these two ideas and create an Australian Foreign Legion. Provided they serve for the period and don’t misbehave then we can give them citizens, we have well trained determined people who can join our society. People who have proved they really want that as their goal. We would also get a military who has soldiers that can fight for the country without the qualms of sending the country’s own citizens.
I actually think this would work.
What do you think?

The same should apply to the U.S.
