RE: The South African Border War - Operation Sceptic (Smokeshell)

in #war7 years ago (edited)

No one won or lost. We all won and we all lost.
Simple as some people may not like, Rhodesia was handed over and Zimbabwe is now a pariah country... South Africa democratically voted for change and hence power was handed over to the majority.
All this is good but South Africa is slowly sliding down a slippery slope of hidden racism and corruption.
What I´m trying to say that the current South African government is like all African governments... Corrupt, lost and inept.

Sort:  

It would be like Rhodesia in SA too, thankfully Mandela was very smart man.
As for Rhodesia, this country had probably best military units in humankind history. Rhodesian SAS and Selous scouts. Scouts especially were very effective, because of locals with bush knowledge (both white and black people), ZANLA and ZIPRA hunted their members (especially black members as "traitors") even after they got whole country.

I wish it was slowly...

Hope, is what's needed. We do have a self enriching leader, who will with the power of our people fall. We have great, good people in SA who will bring back the Pride of our nation... strength in unity will get us back.
