Fireforce tactics is the biggest innovation. Basically as soon as contact with guerillas happened, a unit in Gazelles would deploy into the hot zone to rapidly cut off the guerillas. Paratroopers were later added to the equation, and air support from fixed and rotary wing units was on hand.

there was no actual law against blacks running for any office, the only restrictions on voting where educational, you had to meet a certain standard to vote.
rhodesia had free education for all citizens, and the best educated and wealthiest black population in africa, 80% of the seleous scouts were black, the whites may have ruled as the minority, but it was in no way remotely comparable to the apartheid regime in SA

If they'd kept going, the blacks would have wound up in charge of Rhodesia before the turn of the millennium. They would have been in the best position possible, well educated and with natural resources to make them the envy of the continent. Unfortunately, the wait was too long for some and they wound up with a shithole welfare nation propped up by western nations.

>>33099812
the blacks didnt want mugabes ZANU or any of the other marxist backed militias running it either, mugabe only won the election after the british forced the rhodesians to rerun the election, and mugabes goons (and the fucking poms let him, they knew this was happening) brutally threatened villagers, basically told them vote mugabe or die, so he got in, the rhodesians had already handed over power to the educated, well liked moderate black candidate, the british tricked him to standing down, saying it was only temporary and a beurocratic thing, then they got mugabe in

Because Rhodesia was a group of transplanted people who made something from nothing.

They built a modern city from scratch in the African jungle in under a century.

And then the world told them they had to abandon it. In response, they they told them to fuck off and they managed to BUY their independence.

Literally them vs the world
Outmanned and outgunned they still managed to holdout on their own by using guerilla warfare and "high speed, low drag" tactics

Essentially the nation /k/ wishes it could be

There were laws in place to ensure white minority rule continued, and blacks legally did not have the same level of representation as whites. Trying to pretend like it was completely de jure equal is grossly misrepresenting the facts on the ground, something commonly associated with communism.

Well, no, because those people likely have direct links of lineage and heritage to those cultures. Rhodesia was a place you have literally zero attachment of any kind to, and that emblem is the symbol of several current special operations units in which you have never served.

You're like retarded2. Honestly, this is like recursive retardation.

Can some one who knows little bit more about this tell me how Rhodesia actually was? I'm getting into the book anon above posted but it's only vaguely covers the topic. The rest of the western world was only just out/in the civil rights movement. What grounds could they stand on and condemn Rhodesia for acts they were very recently guilty of? Especially given how new a country Rhodesia still was. All of this leads me to believe the either a) Rhodesian segregation was harsh and blacks were severely mistreated. Or b) it stemmed entirely from the receding imperial mindset of the west. And that left to there own devices Rhodesia would have eventually followed suite with fully equality.

iirc i read that the rhodies used Akms fairly commonly along with FALs and even some g3s and m16s saw use by them in very small numbers. Why is it that people only associate rhodesia with Fals?

Because it was the main service rifle? The G3s and AKMs were only used by second line units and special forces. Thus 90% of pictures and accounts of the Rhodesian armed forces include the FAL.

It's the same way the M16 is associated with Vietnam, it's the main weapon you see so most people forget the other rifles used.

Rhodesia was a success.
Sorry it couldn't survive a genuine combined US/UN effort to destroy it. Even the one thing that did survive that, Vietnam, was left a smoldering pile of agent-orange-flavored ashes that suffers national birth defect issues to this day. It hasnt grown as a country and will forever be a third world shithole thanks to China and US. But hey, at least they survived the US onslaught.

Cultural stuff. A lot of the soldiers there actually went there for fun. They were the 'nam vets that actually enjoyed shitty bush wars, and just wanted more war to fight in after the US left Vietnam. They left America to go fight in Rhodesia, even though they couldn't care less about the actual conflict, just for something fun to do.

If there was ever a real-life instance of the whole don't-give-a-shit-about-anything-just-kill-people mercenary culture as portrayed in Hollywood, it was the soldiers that voluntarily went to fight in Rhodesia.

Not only are military and political goals inter-twined in COIN campaigns, the US failed to achieve numerous pure military objectives in Vietnam: failed to clear and hold the countryside and the central highlands and failed completely to interdict NVA/VC supply routes. They couldn't even dislodge the NVA from territory they conquered from the ARVN. Then there were engagements where the NVA inflicted high casualties on the US then withdrew in good order: a military victory for them in the context of their strategy.

The US forces in Vietnam did not leave because they were beaten. They left because of the political climate back home. Real hard hitting loss there ey my friend?

>>33111663
>The US forces in Vietnam did not leave because they were beaten

Typical Vietnam rearguard goalpost moving: frame the term "loss" an artificially narrow context such that the US can never lose.

The US officer staff acknowledged that there will be no open battles in the entire campaign. Hence their stated COIN goals for the campaign (which are still military goals, by the way). And there is no argument the US failed to achieve those military COIN goals.

Vietnam was an undeniable US military defeat.

>Real hard hitting loss there ey my friend

Let's look at it this way. You're playing a game of basketball. They guy you are playing is even with you in score. Though neither of you has made many point. Then he walks of the fucking court. The only people that would say they'd won that game, and that he'd lost, are the over grown children who knew they'd never win in the first place. That was Vietnam.

Here is a better sports analogy: the US frames their participation in a pickup basketball game where they will beat the other team by 20 points, they end up losing by 20 points and walks off the court but somehow that is construed as not a loss.

Because that is exactly what the US did in Vietnam: they announced their intentions and goals, failed to achieve them, then jumped ship.

They used Brit Pattern 37 webbing, South African webbing, ALICE webbing, webbing made by local outdoors/hunting stores that started making tactical gear, and a variety of other stuff. Foreign volunteers, such as Frenchmen, often brought things from their own countries too. Hell, Mini-14s were smuggled out of the US by American volunteers and used in the bush. Their gear was about as ragtag as a Russian conscript in Chechnya's circa 1997, except that their camouflage was pretty uniform.
>>
>>33116584
That proportion was to grow in number with the increasing education and wealth of the rural uneducated and Tribal Africans until they reached 51 (half plus 1) seats in the lower house; plus their 8 tribal seats in the upper house
Dumbass
70% of the Africans were rural, and 60% of those were tribal and completely outside the sphere of governance.
Remind you that Rhodesia was created BY the colonists, and they decided to include the Africans. Not that there was government, and ebil whitey came and took over.

You're not making a good point.
He was correct, rural Africans were completely excluded from education and governance under British rule. They were neglected and abused, a wrong Ian and his associates were trying to correct.
If you read any of the texts from the founding fathers of the United States they found education and understanding of the spirit of the Republic to be essential, which is why we have representative government and why voting was limited to land holding males up till Jackson.
If black majority rule was instantly handed over you would end up exactly like any of the other failed post colonial states.
Rhodesia had the only proper model for decolonization that had a chance of being successful, instead African countries are enslaved to international banks and reliant on aid.

Of course, just like how whites have mimicked dozens of other cultures that came before them. Humans build off of what came before it. Europeans were crippled for a few hundred years after their Roman dictators collapsed. Europeans didn't just sprout from the ground and begin making sewage systems and using modern farming techniques.

It was an agricultural state, very different to South Africa which actually had a diverse economy. It was essentially rural England and they had a very English mindset and way of approaching things.

I went twice. Didn't think much of it. The people were alright, better than Saffas, but just farmers who were very politically naive. South Africans were a lot closer to what I think people are looking for, in that it was a proper country with a strict racial order. A lot of the Rhodesia hands had a different outlook on everything, especially politics. The interactions and difference in attitudes between the Anglo Africans and the Afrikaners was stark.

Was it better then than it is now? Absolutely. But no one here would have liked it. Hard, isolated, backward and completely without hope by the 70s. Even the countries around it in a similar boat found them impossible to work with.
