meh, well crewewd and maintained they would have served their purpose1. Crazy why? have you done an assessment of their likely threats and decided discovered M60s or T54s would have been a cheaper option? 2. Did the M24s used in korea produce a victory for the UN forces? 3. Did the M48s used in Vietnam produce a victory for America or the ARVN? meh, well crewed and maintained they would have served their purpose
"His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular" (Pretty badass, eh?)
"Last King of Scotland" was a pretty important title in Idi's imagination albeit that Scotland was absorbed into the British Empire. An accurate recap of his many titles, rivalled only, perhaps, by Rafael Trujillo's titles, Mobutu's name addendum and Joe Stalin's honorifics which extolled him as a genius of the proletariat.
Thank you mon ami. This was shortly before his Ill fated invasion of kagera in Tanzania. That ultimately was the beginning of the end of his murderous reign of terror. Merci beaucoup.
@@youssefcamara3916 Thanks. This was Amin at the very beginning: a good few years of mayhem and controversy remained including purges against Obote's ethnic kinsmen and other policies of internal repression, the expulsion of Asians, the Entebbe hijack & Israeli commando raid, the murder of Archbishop Luwum and so on. Cheers!
Dressed to impress although they could only find one sherwani ww2 tank to put up? I bet this guy was loaded. I remember the segues in the TV news where they provide progress reports on how fairly they weredealing with terrorism by shooting one downed and wounded one in the head with a bullet live on TV news.
Thanks. First time I saw idi Amin.
Idi Amin 😍
Still using Shermans in the 70s, crazy.

Adeyinka Makinde that period was absolute nightmare for Ugandan, including his own Baganda people. Absolute excuse of human being.
@@youssefcamara3916 Alas, the consummate tyrant.
He seems slimmer here
As King of Scotland he had a Prince Charles drive.
