...doubtful that the Chad campaign will revive the old legion cry: "Vive la mort, vive la guerre, vive la Légion Etrangère." Many legionnaires consider the campaign a temporary reprieve for a fading outfit. "The Viets tried to kill us, and so did the Algerians and the French high command," said one veteran. "But in the end, red tape will get us. This may be our last beau geste." Said Garros: "We're damned glad to be here...

Though generally less restive than their brethren in Spain, many French Basques firmly endorse the drive for independence and rarely miss a chance to let Charles de Gaulle know it. On the day he proclaimed, "Vive le Québec libre!", Basques broke out signs reading "Vive Euzkadi libre!" They also employ as graffiti an equation that at first glance is almost as incomprehensible as their language: "Three plus four equals one."
