Also do you guys have any sort of memorials to the guys who died in your Bush Wars?
>>73230892
In hindsight, they probably didn't mind the service considering what happened in Zimbabwe. In all seriousness though loyalty varied in the Rhodesian African Rifles and other branches, though some hardasses stuck to the Selous Scouts until the very end.

I actually met an old lady at work the other week, asked her what kind of accent she has and she said she was from Zimbabwe

I said, bet that was called Rhodesia in your day and she gave me a big smile and said 'Southern Rhodesia'

Actually met a former Rhodesian who worked at my high school. She was only 6 or so when her family had to flee. Always assumed she was English, but the accent seemed slightly off.

The idea of Rhodesia seems great, but in reality, there would have been a shit ton of niggers and the country was in a constant war and surrounded by commies.

There are quite a lot of memorials regarding our colonial war but nothing relating to Rhodesia (that I know of)

Fuck off, let me in enjoy the nostalgia!

Nah but for the most part you're right. I think the initial reasoning behind the Rhodesian Front rejecting minority rule and deciding to go for UDI was sound (attempting to educate the black populace while removing commie), but in the long run unfeasible. The transitional government of Zimbabwe-Rhodesia that lasted about a year seemed to me the most optimal solution, but ZANU and ZAPU of course cried foul. Then Mugabe rigged the elections, and the rest is history.

Interesting. The question was more directed to your own bush war rather than Rhodesia's, for the most part Rhodesia and Portugal only did a few joint ops to my knowledge.

>>73233067

So do they have some gated community stuff like SA going on? Can't imagine being any of the remaining white farmers.

no it isn't really like that, there isn't really the mob/rape culture that they have going on in SA. whites in zim are kind of left to their own devices, as there's so few left of them anyway and even then lots of them are very old and frail

Going to have to check that out someday. Only ever met one Zimbabwean irl, she was a grad student at my uni. The way she tells it, things aren't exactly going very well for the country. Hell her father fought for ZANLA and even she thinks that Mugabe's off his rocker.

Like considering how shitty the job market was for Blacks being a soldier grunt is one of the few paying things one can do.
