Be afraid!

"Debout les morts" / "Wake up, dead (people)"
"Nous vous tuerons durant la nuit. Le jour aussi" / "We will kill you during the night. The day too"
"We don't know where destiny drives us. Only death will stop us."

These are the scariest military slogans I've heard of. In displaying their military might, France showed some colourful looking regiments. My 'favourite' would be these guys who I have aptly nicknamed "The Butchers" (because of their outfits, of course!). The are in fact the Pioneers of the 1st Foreign Regiment.
