Bloke I used to know was in the paras and then joined the FFL, he was a proper nutcase. Ended up having it on his toes (apparently couldn't go anywhere near France/French territory afterwards) and last I heard he was doing armed security and protection work in the middle east.

Know/knew a few from BELGIUM who followed K.A.A. Gent.

Absolute nutters.  Most ended up on ships sailing past the Somali coast shooting at pirates, and then moved on to shooting Houthi militants on the Red Sea.

They earnt good money doing that.
