Does anybody have any cool images from Rhodesia or want to talk about it? Just started learning about it and am fascinated.

The Bush War is probably the most aesthetic and tactically interesting war of the 20th century. It's too be it's (unfairly) made out to be a racist purge rather than a righteous stand against communism and (((colonial))) interference.

If you want to learn more, read Ian Smith's memoirs. They're called Bitter Harvest or The Great Betrayal depending on the publisher.
Rhodesia was an amazing country and it's a great shame it was stabbed in the back by the West.

I am fascinated by societies like SA and Rhodesia where white supremacy was the norm. Fuck Hitler. If not for this fuckign insane German supremacist we'd still have more white countries like Rhodesia. Instead we have israel.

Rhodesia was founded in 1890. In less than a century, it had the highest standards of living for both blacks and whites in Africa. It managed economically despite British and UN sanctions. Zimbabwe receives billions in aid and is a starving AIDS-infested shithole.

Well if he wasn't a retard he'd not have gone anti slav if he didn't want to genocide the slavs he'd not have lost the war. And if he didn't lose the war he wouldn't doom racial realism. It would still be socially a ok to be a 'white supremacist' only then it would be called 'havin common sense' instead.
It wasn't ok to be realist after hitler tainted the idea.

Right. If Hitler wasn't a retard he wouldn't have gone for his general plan ost and waited for the SU to invade Europe first. Then the world would ally against the evil communism instead of evil nazism and we'd still have white supremacist states instead of commies and Israel.
The main reason for retarded leftism is the fact that hitler was retarded.

Jews 'fight' for what they believe in and they believe in kike supremacy. Hitler was fighting for German supremacy instead of white. It's all the same to me as a non-germal white.

"The selection course of the Selous Scouts built up on what Reid Daly underwent as a British SAS operator, but was taken much farther than that. No provisons were issued for the first five days of the course. The recruits had to live off the land. Then, on the fifth day, they usually were given a baboon carcass that was left to rot in the sun for three days. The recruits had to prepare the maggot rotten meat and eat it. For the remaining 13 days they were given rations consisting of only one sixth of a mans usual daily intake. Recruits were forced to make the bush their own habitat. Eating all kinds of animals and - in times of water shortage - even drink the water from the stomachs of dead animals. Later, in actual combat situations, Scouts were forbidden to shoot animals. During most selection courses 80 per cent of recruits dropped out after just two days."
>>136248737
Hate to be that guy, but have you considered an L1A1. If the FAL is coke, then the L1A1 is Pepsi.

As brave as who? I'm not as evil and rich as kikes and not as retarded as german nazis. I bide my time secretly waiting for an emergence of white ethnostate which is very possible soon.
My uncle fought in the Rhodesia war, he says the blacks were useless soldiers, they would point the gun and squeeze their eyes shut as it went off.
Rhodesia 8
>>136241647
Last survivors of the British Empire, determined to uphold civilisation in a wild land. Eventually defeated but it took the USA, UK, Soviet Russia and Red China to team up in order to bring them down and the Rhodesians fought to the end.
If you ever wonder, looking at the pitiful men who run England today how on earth the Brits ever built the biggest empire in history, the Rhodesians show you what a hardy and enterprising lot they were.
The key to remember is most Rhodesians were born there. It was their country built on the British imperial civilisation while some of the blacks who came across the border weren't even born in Rhodesia yet the left sided with those blacks. Also most of the Rhodesian army's volunteers as well as security forces were black - many blacks much preferred life under the Rhodesians and did not want to see Mugabe win seize power. Mugabe tortured and murdered people yet still the left sided with him against the Rhodesians.
The Rhodesians will be vindicated by history, indeed they already have been.

Huh. There was an argument over /k/ I was reading over yesterday about how the L1A1 is essentially inferior due to it only being semi auto capable.
That's why I made the Coke and Pepsi comparison.

>>136249866
Its just the fire control though, same as the m16 has at times had a burst mode instead of full auto. Most nations who used the fal in 7.62 opted for semi only afaik as it was too uncontrollable full auto from the shoulder.

You and me both.

They did it because the Selous Scouts missions were going to be long periods of time behind enemy lines where resources might be scarce tracking an elusive enemy in one of the most brutal environments you can imagine. Think about it like SERE school on steroids. Reid Daly wanted to test the mental toughness of the men, and give them a harsh introduction to bushcraft. A skill that would keep them alive when shit really went sideways. You may not want to eat rotten baboon now, but when you're going on day 7 of a patrol, rations are running low, and you know you're about to take contact... That baboon is starting to look pretty tasty boiled with some tabasco sauce.
The Scouts would go on to be one of the most combat effective units of the war and paved the way for pseudo ops. Which in itself is a fascinating concept.

Yep, the Israelis were particularly interested in the development of fireforce operations and after Operation Dingo were amazed. South Africa was also impressed and adapted it for Operation Reindeer which happened less than a year later.
>>136251462
yes they were, rhodesia was exactly what the jews wanted for south africa - and many of the jews in south africa (most, actually) supported liberal parties such as the dc/lp (not the anc) which were pretty much exactly the same kind of parties which were running rhodesia under smith, the same policies. rhodesia's governing system was often used as an example in south african parliament by the jews and anglos who wanted to reform the apartheid government.

uk screwed them over like they eventually did south africa. although smith and rhodesians were too soft on niggers, giving them equal rights and trying to incorporate them into the white population. smith's vision was that niggers and whites would be living side by side as on nation if only he could educate them and give them equal rights and not impelement apartheid. big mistake. as soon as the communism started to spread among the opposition it started getting all the niggers that were enjoying the benefits of whites excited.
>>136252325
Do you know why? Because the commies were lying pieces of shit and the international media was fooled into believing they would actually improve the situation, they could say whatever they wanted. Facing no consequences and without any questioning. The initial reports after OP Eland, which was Rhodesian run, said that white, blond haired blue eyed Afrikaners ran into a refugee camp and slaughtered civilians. When in fact it was a legitimate military target and knocked ZANU-PF flat on it's ass.. But, the media ran with the commie narrative and South Africa had no choice but to sever all OVERT ties. It wasn't until the end of the war that most of the South African leased helicopters left Rhodesia. Which really showed how much support the SA lent to Rhodesia.
