Someone is visiting all Wikipages about French Foreign Legion's battles and is adding the flag of the Legion alongside the flag of France in the combattants' box. This is stupid, the Legion is part of the French army and is serving France, it is not an independent corps like a guerilla group or a nation itself. It is France which sends troops (French, foreign, airforce, intelligence, etc...).

Thus I deleted the flag of the Legion. The combattant is France. When you read the article, you have all the information you need about the origin of the units which fought this battle, there is no problem about it. Just stop making the Legion an independent corps fighting for its own, this is completely unaccurate and misleading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.190.97.85 (talk) 09:31, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
