User blog comment:MilitaryBrat/French Foreign Legion VS Shayeret Matkal/@comment-5232784-20121221011049

If memory serves me correctly, the French Foreign Legion is a large infantry force, no doubt with its special forces units (Much as the American Marines have their special forces as well as normal infantry soldiers) but still a large conventional, albiet tough, fighting force. Meanwhile the Shayeret Matkal are a special forces unit, trained for unconventional warfare. I would suspect that the Israelis would strike first, hard, and without warning, and that the French Foreign Legion would struggle to overcome the chaos and confusion, while the commandoes would keep firing, pinning them down. I would think therefore that, much as special forces would outfight and outclass the average infantryman, so the Shayeret Matkal would do so to the Legion.

And considering that, according to Noob's calculations, that the Israelis have a good edge in long range weaponry (the Tavor outranging the Famas, the Glock outranging the Beretta), I think that the Legion will be quickly, and perhaps even easily, bashed and trounced.

Winner: Shayeret Matkal Israeli Commandos!
