Selous Scouts?

You mean these guys?

I don’t know. They kinda look like pansies to me.

Ha ha ha. I was joking. Don’t take that seriously.

Please!

The social disaster in Zimbabwe cannot be measured.

Of course, it's all the White Man's fault.

"1.5 million people have moved out of Metropolitan Toronto area but its population continues to increase, fed by "third world" immigration and spurious refugee claimants."

We are seeing the same thing happen, even here in rural, central Missouri. Many Mexican immigrants (also many illegals) are coming here to work in the Tyson plant. At least that's what started it. Now we have a 2-hour talk show in Spanish on Saturdays, Spanish language signs in the local stores, increase in crime rate, etc.

I guess it's a "brave new world" out there! :^)

They didn't hire "international mercenaries". Individuals that fought for Rhodesia from outside the country were members of the Rhodesian Army and Air Force. Just like foreigners in the U.S. Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force.

Apropos - LOL

[Barnacle]

I'm no expert on the subject. In fact, all I know is a vague memory of paging through a Soldier of Fortune magazine around 1978. I seem to remember there was an article on the fighting that made reference to mercenaries.

Africa needs a conqueror. Native or imported, doesn't really matter.

Nothing else will destroy the current state-structures quickly enough to save Africans from disaster.imo

[Clive]

Agreed. Africa needs another Chaka.

It would b bloody, but in the long run the butcher's bill will be less because it will be finished quicker.
