Certainly there was money to be made in Rhodesia.

All else fails the CIA and other western intel agencies had plenty of work in 1965.
One of my buddies Dad flew A-26's for the CIA after retiring from the Air Force. The majority were Cuban Bay of Pigs vets but there were others as well.

Pick a small, backwater island, and organize a few mates to overthrow the current dictator/government there.

Shouldn't be too difficult in many of them, if you have a bit of initiative, and leverage any unrest of the civilians.
