Think of opportunity cost. You'd be living a regimented, completely controlled life for 5 prime years of your youth, and for what? For all you know you may never even see action. You'd basically be giving up everything for the possibility of brief periods of excitement. There are more efficacious ways to find adventure than joining a military force.
If you're really set on doing something crazy, go for a 1 month trip to the Central African Republic and you'll probably see as much if not more crazy shit than you would in 5 years stationed at some sleepy French village. And you'll only be out 1 month of your life, not 5 years.
The French Foreign Legion is stationed and fighting as we speak. I can guarantee I will see action, but the opportunity cost yes is the main issue.
