My brother is a neurosurgeon, he is married and owns a house.
Now, do you still think my parents don't think I'm a fuck-up and disappointment?

Yes, I think your parents love you regardless because they know that on the inside you are a kind, good-natured soul.
Best,Dr. Phil

Most often, he has come to the Legion to escape from his past.
Generally, he has joined because of a personal or family crisis or an upheaval in his social or political life. Striking examples of this can be found in the mass enlistment of Alsatians after 1871, of Spaniards in 1939 and of Eastern Europeans after 1945.
For others, those who are unable to deal with the limitations of a middle-class life, the Legion represents a life of adventure.
In the enlistment procedure, selection is very tough. Many candidates are turned down for medical reasons, or after a thorough study of their individual cases. The legionnaire is seldom an angel but never a criminal.
