There've been several throughout the years. Currently, the only active ones are the French Foreign Legion, and the Israeli Mahal, The Royal Armed Forces (of the United Kingdom) accepts applicants from Commonwealth countries and the Republic of Ireland, and also fields the Brigade of Gurkhas. The US Armed Forces, while having no actual foreign legion, does accept foreign volunteers into their ranks. The Spanish Legion was originally established as an equivalent to the French Foreign Legion, but no longer accepts foreign nationals.
i dunno :/ i know its a 5 year contract if you want to join the legion(french foreign legion) which is the toughest army to be in now a days.
Most militaries require their members to be citizens of the nation, even if a dual citizen of that country and the United States. The French Foreign Legion and Israeli Mahal are two outfits which accept foreign volunteers. The Spanish Legion and South African Defence Force were two other forces which traditionally accepted foreign volunteers, but no longer do.
You must go, in person, to a French Foreign Legion recruitment station. They're located in certain town across France. Getting yourself there is your responsibility, but once there if everything goes right you'll be provided food, lodging, and clothing.
