Bring back this guy from the 1980s.

“One Texas State Guard battalion led by Robert Holloway, a former Vietnam Green Beret who had served as a mercenary for the white supremacist regime in Rhodesia, was disbanded for being too “gung_ho”_abandoning the standard green uniform for camouflage fatigues and engaging in search_and_destroy training, outside the group’s formal regulations. Ironically, the unit’s activities came to light after it was praised in an article in Soldier of Fortune magazine.”

The Queen's Army of Rhodesia was NOT a "white supremacist regime", it was the recognized military of Rhodesia.

That would mean Mr. Holloway was not a mercenary, he was an enlisted trooper.

BTW, it was an integrated military organization.

Like these guys...

And these guys...

Do you remember the picture of the guy clad in everything the State Guard issued? He had a hat, necktie and was holding his dress shoes in front of his groin.

The tiny State Guard is basically nothing but MPs used to direct traffic once in a while in emergencies such as a hurricane.
