Mercenary Town - South Africa

December 2005

32 BATTALION WERE HEROES AND THOSE GUYS WILL NEVER BE FORGOT XXX

"losing side" i think the state of SA at the moment shows who the losing side is. they might have the right ideals but they can't run a country. apartheid was wrong bu at least the country was in a much much better state.

If Pomfret is a 'Mercenary Town' then Australia is 'Convict Island' and Britain is 'Wanker Isle.'

32 Battalions were the real black heroes in Southern Africa... they were the first de-segregated army in the SADF and the first to commission black officers.

Even while killing civilians, they did so in a manner FAR more humane than the African National Congress' terr scum did, in general. The ANC is a sick joke with no punchline, that anticipates laughter but finds none.

32 Battalion weren't mercenaries you illiterate Pom fuck. They came from LARGELY the same 6 tribes, and were fighting Angolan and South West African wars, PRIMARILY in Angolan and South West Africa.

Were the Free French armies 'mercenaries' for fighting outside of France with the support and supervision of non-French?

If I could somehow turn this 'documentary' into soft tissues, I wouldn't hesitate to wipe my ass with it after eating some greasy African food.

@Simba5124 No, 32nd will never be forgotten. Good Riddance!

Jacob Zuma is a joke. South Africa is a joke. It was marginally better under the apartheid at least--at least before the international community could browbeat the National Party into making concessions for the African people. It's been downhill since the fall of the NP and the rise of the ANC.

Give these guys and families a break - this shit went down 20+ years ago. They did their bit, no doubt about it, and it´s too easy to look back and rewrite the history.

If you want to kick someone off their little patch, go find the retired, pardoned politicians playing on the golf courses - or the converted veteran/capitalists currently driving the gravy train! BASTARDS, the lot of them.
