There was no rail line between Maputo and Beira!

Thank you all for your service 😊

I salute all the men you died for our country I'm a proude South African never leave

The Thompson's lived in Edenvale we all friends it was sad for the lose of there brother

My first call up was 1977 Potchefstroom then Pretoria state president guard I was the last to do I years it's was great to serve my country I only believe the old flag no respect for the new flag

I was there 1978

The question you have to ask yourself is just who was "financing" Mugabe? Because without the money to buy the weapons he and his ilk would never have amounted to anything.

Seeing that picture from Christmas Day 1983 really resonated with me, I moved from the UK to SA at age 6 in February 1983, that Christmas Day my whole family and some family friends spent the day at the Holiday Inn at Jan Smuts airport...strange to think that we were all having a great day, eating until bursting and everyone smiling and happy while all of you brave souls were up there keeping the wolf away...thank you all from the bottom of my heart for affording me the best childhood a kid could ever imagine having.

Stop blaming America America was on your side The problem was LBJ in 1960s and Jimmy Carter there at the end

I am so gratefull to you brother as former citazen of suidwestafrika❤

The judis goat all connected to the 1974 negotiations where the NP PARTY new they were going to hand over to the ANC ....prove me wrong

So Zipra had the Soviets, Zanla had the Chinese, Rhodesia had SA for a while much to my dismay. SA had to contend with the Soviets, Chinese, the collective west.

Salute!

It was an unfair system, should never have happened. One in all in or nothing!

Much respect Leon. I can only imagine how this feels. I served for 15 years RASigs and RAAF. A handful of my friends passed during Service. Sometimes I ask them for advice, and from the stillness and in the quietness I get the awareness of what they would do in the situation. It's a nice connection to the memory of their spirit/manner/personality. Much empathy Leon. Thank you for your service especially standing against communism.

Rhodesia became ZimmGhetto

So they decided to replace Rhodesia the powerhouse of Africa with ZimmGhetto and now we’re looking at a $10 trillion bill and the locals think that’s heading in the right direction?

Another Yank War Australia was silly enough to get involved in...

Given what happened with the Gukurahundi, hats off for the brave Rhodesian special operators who did all they could to delay the massacres to come. Thank you for your service to the whole West - how ashamed we are now. Great work in documenting these first-person accounts of under-reported history!

Major Moore was in A squadron when I served in 1ssb. He was a rhino of a man in our troopie eyes. Robbie kanes, also in the beginning of this clip on the noddy was our sergeant major in b squadron..good memories.

Politicians betrayed us 😢😢😢😢

Proud member 1976 intake ❤❤❤❤

Thank you to all the brave men and women who served during the Vietnam War . Never Forgotten.

I was one of those called up, served in SVN, I never met anyone in the Army who had my birthday, I was watching an interview of Normie Rowe and he said there were “special” ballots held for “special categories”, apparently I was a “special category” because I was living and working overseas when I was drafted. I actually came back to Australia to answer the Call-Up. It’s weird, I went to a reunion about 20 years ago, I naturally reminisced and was shocked at the memories of old comrades. Their memories were so different from the events I recalled. We lost a bloke, he was missing for years, the Australian authorities had given up and one of our blokes went to Vietnam and had an Advertisement put in the local paper near where he went missing. The ONLY serving NVA who could point to his location came forward and 30 years after the event in vastly changed terrain that had been cleared for agriculture, took them to where he was buried. I didn’t go to collect him, but my Patrol Commander did, the Minister of Religion who went described the exhumation and return, my old Patrol Commander was very emotional. In all the timer I knew him, he never mentioned those events, we all thought he was a hard man. Ironically, the Minister and I talked at a Memorial Service for a young Captain who had been killed by an IED in Afghanistan. Before he went to Afghanistan for his 2nd tour the young Captain had told me he decided to get out of the Army and enrol in a Teaching Degree, he only went for the 2nd tour to top-up the money he had saved so he could study. Strange how these things happen? My Grandfather ran away from home, went to the Boer War, came back and was jailed for “Sedition” in World War 1 for his anti-conscription speeches. He said he was warned the Police were after him and he climbed up on the stand and said “God Save the King” and was arrested, charged and imprisoned, he said to disqualify him from the next parliamentary elections. Then came World War 2, in respect of those, my Father was in the old coastal artillery and was called up at the start. My Grandfather would give his consent to my Uncle joining, so he ran away, got a job on a ship, jumped ship in New Zealand and joined the Kiwi Army. These days, I try to talk any and every person out of joining or into getting out, if they are in the Armed Forces, I can’t see how being a member of the Australian Defence Forces is a fit occupation for anyone.

May the forth be with you.

Great to see one of my old “steeds” being preserved. A few of the “facts” were not quite correct. Never any female pilots on the RAAF C130A. I logged several hundred hours in that particular cockpit among my 4215 A model hours. Also operated the C130E and H models before going Boieng.

Salute. I also klaared-in at 2SSB and went to School of Armour on JL's. I'm sorry we were never told of this incident, as it would have been good to remember Trooper Lombards memory, especially on 11 November.

Misleading title - merely a discussion of warfare then and now - nothing much on S A S !
