I have a very special guest on for this week\u2019s podcast. Retired French SAS operator Raymond. Raymond was born in Africa and moved to France during his teenage years. He eventually joined the Army and became a member of the French Foreign Legion. It was on a deployment with the Foreign Legion where he met members of the French SAS, France\u2019s premier counter terrorism unit. \n\nWe discussed his early life, the racism he experienced in France and in the Army being African. We touched on what effects terrorism has had on France as a nation, and many other topics. Enjoy. \n\n3:55- The origins of the French Special Forces\n\n8:44-Joining the French Foreign Legion\n\n17:55-Joining the French SAS\n\nI Want to give a quick thank you to our sponsor \nBlinkist- is the only app that takes the best key takeaways, the need-to-know information from thousands of nonfiction books and condenses them down into just 15 minutes so you can read -or- listen to.
