Had a squad leader in ‘81 that went to Rhodesia under an assumed name for a couple of years after Viet Nam, still had his Rhodesian camo and pics from his time in Africa.
Hated communism.
One of the more interesting people I’ve met.
Jean-Pierre and his buddy Gilbert, FFL para retirees in S. Florida were a couple more cut from the same cloth.
All three were mercenaries after a fashion and I had nothing but respect for them, still stay in touch with Gilbert, met him when he did my tile, lol.
I used to go out in Biscayne bay on his sail boat with he and his girl friend, a S. African gal with a BPM publishing business who told me about evading trade sanctions against the RSA.
