No, very much not the case. It’s an extremely competitive unit that very few are able to join due to the extreme physical requirements, you do get to walk last in the military parades with their own marching pace, wear leather aprons and don’t have to shave, so you get to be a total bad ass, but it’s a lot of work
I’m a veteran who looked into joining the FFL. They’re basically all special forces (even the admin) so if you aren’t ready for that level of training you’re going to fail recruitment and won’t be able to join them.
Also of 100 recruits that apply only 10-15 are selected.

Well, you’re describing a large part of the US military. Many enlisted soldiers just joined to escape a bad situation, so they aren’t that dedicated. They certainly don’t know French, if they even know English that well.
They teach you french during basic training so that wouldn’t be an issue. You can see this at the FFL faq page where the first q and a is about french fluency.
Are you sure those guys in the documentary were already past selection? You have to be selected (10/100) and then you also have to pass basic training which is difficult.

I thought being able to communicate in the most basic of French or English was a requirement for the psychological test.

The last one I saw was were they followed people trough the selection process and then followed the ones that passed. One of the ones that passed gave up during basic training. I didn’t check if there was a second process after basic training.
I didn’t mention this because I addressed US soldiers. If you are already a soldier I’m sure you’ll easily get in.
