I will add one small thing. I first saw Rhodesian camo in the wild at the Knob Creek show in the early 2000s. I wasn't super familiar, but the trousers damn near disappeared against the background and the person was 10 feet from me. It got me to look up the camo, learn about the conflict, and the like. Fascinating stuff.
As for the politics, it was a basic tragic situation. But the results of Zimbabwe should show what "democracy" meant in practice. Democracy is just how you pick leaders; government delivering on security and prosperity is foremost, and the Rhodesian government was better than what came after for all races. The combination of a communist insurgency and Western "muh democracy" fetish is what led to the tragic results for everyone involved. Chris Cocks' *Fireforce* is a great book. And there is a Rand Corp. study I read on conflict that really went into tactics that is quite good as well (Linked here: LINK). |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I am a big fan of the Rhodesian Constitution and voting system. A Roll and B Roll. To get on A Roll, you had to have some skin in the game. B Roll was for those who didn't meet income or other requirements. It wasn't racial there were whites on B roll who didn't work. One man one vote is a failed system. We are living proof of this right now. Rhodesia also had more black millionaires then the US did at the time. What was also pretty cool was how Rhodesia didn't force black Africans who wanted a traditional tribal life to live in European civilization. The Tribal System was left intact with the chiefs consulting with the Rhodesian government - a true republic. |

The combination of a communist insurgency and Western "muh democracy" fetish is what led to the tragic results for everyone involved. ... Yeah, as Thomas Jefferson once said, I prefer safe and prosperous slavery to dangerous freedom. Wait, that doesn't seem right somehow. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Majority rule was inevitable; but maybe Zimbabwe wasn't. The Bush War lead to a vast expansion of black guerilla groups, guaranteeing that the most violent black nationalists would eventually rise to power. If the Bush war had been avoided by creating an authentic path to majority rule in the 60s, the end result might have been a more peaceful transition of power, marginalization of the black guerilla groups, and a better end product; something like a Muzorewa lead Zimbabwe-Rhodesia but with the domestic and international respect needed to survive Why is western democracy inevitable in all cultures, or for this discussion at least Africa? Isn't that an external value that was foisted on Africa by colonizers salving their consciences upon abandoning their former colonies? Isn't it an expression of white guilt? Remember what democracy is in its essence - two wolves and a sheep voting on the dinner menu. It's literally greek for "mob rule." I say again that democracy is, especially in the case of Rhodesia and other African nations, nothing more than a tool for subversion wielded by communists. It subverts the core values of the target nation and replaces them with "gimme dat free stuff now" and "join the Party to get your free stuff, and beat the fuck out of anybody who doesn't vote for us who promise you the free stuff." Mark my words, the Dems are pushing that last bit right here, right now. It's why Rhodesia is relevant to us. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Universal suffrage is doomed to fail. Even in successful societies the losers will eventually outnumber the successful. Especially in successful societies the losers will outnumber the successful. When even the most destitute, the most corrupted, the most despicable are fully protected by law and provided for by government, weakness or corruption is no longer a liability. Modern, western societies enable everyone to succeed, at least to the point of reproducing and passing on their values. Cue up the intro to Idiocracy here. In a rough society with no safety net, failure is punished harshly, even to be naturally selected out of the gene pool. Hard times create strong men, etc. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I didn’t say western democracy was inevitable. I said majority rule was inevitable. Zimbabwe certainly doesn't fit my definition of a western democracy. When I say western democracy, I mean majority rule. A poor word choice. Zimbabwe does fit what the Democrat party wants - a majority vote to give them absolute power. They aren't hiding it, they want absolute power and unlimited government. So in that sense, Zimbabwe is a model of western democracy as the Democrat party sees it. But do explain why majority rule was inevitable? I say it was only inevitable because the Communists pushed and fought for it, enabled by dupes in the West (UK and USA leading the way). |

Robert Mugabe was a nobody at the time of UDI. For all the Rhodesians' tactical brilliance, the Bush War was a massive strategic failure. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: They had an entire continent of examples of what happens when blacks rule. You think maybe they were smart enough to know better than to do the same?

Two wolves and a lamb voting on what's for dinner, and the Matabele got the worst of it. Their Republic wasn't going to last much longer. The big, flashy external operations they conducted towards the end of the war were necessary because the guerilla groups were growing so large and so well equipped that they threatened to soon possess the ability to transition to open, conventional warfare. If the Rhodesians had kept on the same path they might have kept control of the cities for a few more years before ZANLA and ZIPRA rolled tanks in and slaughtered them all; a result that's pretty obviously worse than the slow land grabs and high crime rates that actually happened. Quoted: Why not? Our government wants to subjugate the rest of us to about 13% of the population in a world where the AR15 exists. Do you really not see the difference between whats happening here, where ~50% of the majority population is voting for the "subjugation", and Rhodesia? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah lots of pathetic losers on here who were too cowardly to join the military yet will crap on posts like this.  Being a coward has nothing to do with it. I grew up during the Vietnam war and watched thousand and thousands die and get fucked up and the people who sent them over would not let them win. Then when they got home they were treated like shit. When we have a war where everyone serves and there are no deferments and no one comes home till we destroy the enemy and take their land and natural resources call me. When we have a war where we terminate all the communist and traitors in this country call me. I have nothing against those of you who volunteer to be in the military and protect this country. But, not a hell of a lot has been accomplished and it has cost us a shit load of lives and money. We could have done much more with much less but you have to be willing to really kill your enemy and our military and politicians dont want to kill too many people. In war you have to kill the ever living shit out of your enemy till you demoralize them and we just do not have the will to do what it takes. Call me when you get serious. Sorry to derail, because a lot of real patriots white and black some from all around the world tried to stop communism in Rhodesia and came up short and we are facing that fight right here. |

Pretty well written paper written by someone attending Canadian Armed Forces College. There are a few more that are really good too.
https://www.cfc.forces.gc.ca/259/290/405/305/hartman.pdf Also, Lawren Guldemond wrote an excellent paper while he was at the Royal Military College of Canada entitles, “ on the strategic Analysis of Modern Insurgency; with a Case Study on the Chimurenga War in Rhodesia.” It was online, but now I can’t seem to find a copy of it anywhere. Great study and analysis. |

Bastard!  11 years old. Paws like horse hooves. He can run for days and dig holes in asphalt. NEVER had an injured pad or paw. |

My uncle served in the RLI. I really wish I had asked him about it years ago before he passed.

Needs more music...
John Edmond was one of the better artists that came out of the Bush War. The Last Word in Rhodesian was written done well. Change my mind. |
