The French directors were maybe sick of seeing that famous French directors were constantly making movies where the hero is always US SF or CIA SAD. I mean they must be saying "hey we got ze Legion, toughest force on ze Earth according to SAS monsieur Bear Grylls. Why show US cowboys??"

Talking of foreigners most Asians and European civvies I have come across regard the US SF(SEAL,Rangers,SMU are termed as SF by them) as barbarians.Why?? because they saw it in some crap movie.
I watched the trailer, you are correct this movie has zero to do with American Special Forces.

But in the trailer they are using American weapons..... very amusing. What's even more amusing is the use of the term "Special Forces" as the title, that will get people into the theaters and then piss them off when they find out its the French "make believe Special Forces" version.
