karlunity Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 The blacks running SA may not like BH but White men with guns and with the proven and CURRENT ability to defeat forces that black armies cannot? That is embarrassing to blacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I wonder how badly Nigeria wants to fight? Those soldiers are said to have poor morale due to the good ol' boy club, and have lousy equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzRednek Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 A little off subject. About 1975 I read a Soldier of Fortune article written by a South African mercenary. His article was an evaluation of various guns used in actual combat. The article was more like a big game hunting trip one might read in today's Guns N Ammo magazine. In the article word "spook" having a non racist definition to South Africans was used to describe the communist guerrillas and bad guys. Best I recall his favorites were the Browning Hi Power, Remington 870 12 ga and his favorite rifle I can't recall the model was a Scandinavian ( possibly Finn) version of the AK. The author despised the AR/M-16 saying something about it being like American autos and American men wearing gold chains. A show piece meant to elevate one's status in society. The author claimed the M-16 was a poor choice for a club and suggested using an American baseball bat instead. He also made some disparaging remarks about the then US President Carter and something derogatory about the US Navy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlunity Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 From what I read of the history, there has not been a good all black African General or Army since Shaka and his Zulus. They were world class but that was around 1800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
