The link is to a very excellent website dealing with the Rhodesian war for independence or white supremacy whatever it's called. It's amazing to me how many different vehicles, weapons, troop types the Rhodesian government used to suppress the native Africans or whomever they are supposed to be. Interesting to see black Africans fighting for the white troops. I wonder what happened to them after they lost. And how could they have lost given their firepower? I looked through the entire site I think but I never saw any figures representing the freedom fighters or whatever they're called, that is the ones who wanted to do away with the white supremacy government. In this episode seems to make for an interesting war game. |

My brother-in-law served in the RAR from the age of 16 when he was conscripted. He would spend 6 weeks out in the bush, then 6 weeks back at his civilian job. He fought for 7 years. Some of his officers were black and some of his instructors were Americans. He can never go back to that country, his name is on a list. |

And how could they have lost given their firepower? The combination of the British Foreign Office and western liberal media…. |
