That was a pretty good movie. Not intended to be an accurate account, it was still pretty good.

When I was a teenager, I knew a guy who was a Belgian paratrooper in the Congo. The natives were murdering Whites but the troops were killing the Communists who were basically the same thing.

I think one of the first groups to use the Uzi. He also liked the little Browning .32 automatic. Also said they used 9mm in their Webley .38s in an emergency. I have no idea if that will actually work.

I read Mad Mike Whore... I thought Bloomberg...
Wishful thinking.
Sorry for the real Mad Mike, but I didn’t know (of) him.

One of the inspirations for Fredrick Forsyth’s “Dogs of War” — great novel, as were many others by Forsyth.

“he was jailed for leading a failed coup in the Seychelles”

Did Mueller or Comey ever visit him in jail?
