User blog comment:Deathblade 100/Superhuman Slayers: Zombies vs French Foreign Legion/@comment-5078776-20160322022203

CAUSE THIS IS THRILLER!!! The Zombies should win this with relative ease, for the following reasons:
 * 1) Psychological Warfare: The Foreign Legion may have one of the toughest training regimes ever, but there's nothing that any real life training gives you to prepare for a foe with no sense of pain, fear, or humanity. The large numbers of moaning, running zombies- and yes, this type of zombie has been shown to do a weird zombie shuffle to pursue prey- combined with the previously mentioned factors will undoubtedly have an effect on the Legion's fighting mindset.
 * 2) Ill-Equipped: Zombies only die with a headshot. To those of us not set in a fictional simulation, this is common knowledge. However, getting that headshot is going to be imcredibly difficult with a submachine gun and a shotgun. While it's possible for the latter, that requires the Legionnaire to be dangerously close to the horde to be effective. All around, the Legionnaires will have to get well within the horde's range to do any damage.
 * 3) Numbers: This is 20-to-1. Especially given the previously mentioned factor, that's a gigantic hurdle to overcome. Each man has to roughly take on 20 zombies a piece, and that's damn near impossible with the horde surrounding you and only being able to keep them 50 or so yards away innorder to fire back. These men are simply outgunned logistically.

Overall, the Foreign Legion should lose to the Zombies rather easily. They simply lack the necessary training, equipment, or manpower needed to last long enough.
