Some of the rank insignia are using the wrong colors[edit]

The Legion Etranger corp color as colonial units is green. But some of the insignia like the sous officier adjutants are using RED the color of the French Army. I checked Wikimedia Commons, no one has made any foreign legion officer ranks or the one of the aspirant. As these images (I guess) are there for purely example reasons, that's not the problem, what is a problem is that the corp colors are wrong and there is nothing in that section to tell the reader that is the case. All rank and corp colors in the Legion are green, never red (the only time that might be seen is when army personnel are on brief secondment or temporary assignment with a legion unit). The rank images needs fixing with correct colors.146.199.128.197 (talk) 11:22, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cukrakalnis want to check on this? A lot of the linked units probably need some scrutiny also Elinruby (talk) 17:20, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
