Not so much the legion des estrange as the legion des strange I fear. But at least we'd be abroad and out of harms way...

scotland?
what the world needs is an enema, make that two - just to give it a sense of purpose.
US electoral democracy is just a structured system of legalised bribery.
a senior Chinese officer has said, “all the great nations in the world own aircraft carriers – they are symbols of a great nation”. That’s why China has just commissioned its first. By the same token, to opt for a “carrier gap” of some years is to abandon your responsibilities.

I live foreign-ish, so I guess I qualify. I'll do the accounts: even if we don't win any wars, we'll make a profit with a bit of luck.

Well, lets be honest, wars are to be avoided at all costs. The main purpose of the Arrse Legion is for rape and pillage, strutting, rutting, wearing medals and tight trousers (cod pieces de rigueur?), drinking heavily, did I mention shagging?
