Read the title and thought the post was going to be about Coneheads.
Well, I've never played one where the French were the bad guys, if that helps...
After all, the game itselfs offers quite a lot of bad guys (Provolution, AmCo, etc...) and, while Tricolor is French, they are even against their own government.
And, as government sanctioned bad guys, INAP comes to my mind before any French organization.
That seems to have changed a bit in 2320. They used the Foreign Legion against their own people on Kimajano.
Never been involved in 2320. Not the first time in history that an army is used against its own citizenry, though...
I think you're missing the point. They used the Foreign Legion against their own people.
Nothing will infuriate rebels more than using foreigners against them.

Note that after completion of the first (6 year) term, a Legionnaire is no longer a foreigner... he's an immigrant French citizen.
And the "protection of identity" of Legionnaires has been taken advantage of by not a few native Frenchmen.
Further, the Frenchmen I've known consider the Legion Etrangere quintessentially French... an honorable way to become French or to escape a (minor) French criminal history. (No longer will they accept violent felons - French or otherwise.)
Yes. Thanks. Most websites I've seen ignore or marginalize the French, or at least treat them with suspicion.

Yet, aren't they sharing an aircraft carrier?I've seen it suggested that the only reason the UK bought into the F-35 was that the alternative was to buy a French fighter1 for their new carriers.
