My respect to you SADF veterans as a former US Army captain who tried to keep abreast of your struggle against communism at the time. The idiotic western press and its political ruling class saw this as a colonial war instead of a country fighting to keep free from Communist tyranny. May Cape independence succeed that you once again live in a free republic.
You guys should have kept fighting like us here in Israel, you should have took out old FW Deklerk too. No matter what the left says we'll never stop fighting these terrorists.
@@Terry-zs4ir how was it in those days, bro? The SADF was still rough in 89. No conflict at that stage, but the experience made me grow up very quickly. I went to 7SAI the month I turned 18. And that was just a few years after I moved to SA from the UK with my family. Soutie had no choice, bro. Heh
@@StinkyTheSquid2 can remember them days very well boet, I was called up to 4 Sai, ended up being a mag gunner on a 90mm ratel, we had conflict in SWA and Angola in 98 when Swapo stole a bunch of school kids, we had to chase and recover in Angola. But best times was when we were part of an operation with impala and mirage air support, had tanks form up alongside us, never forget it.
85 -87 eenhana. I still RSM palmer with his hi pitched voice "wil jy n bosbus ry" Which meant someone was going to get an opfok. I'd only been in SA for 3 years from Liverpool. 17 years old. Great memories in charlie bunker and getting pissed with the SAKK in the water tower.
They killed 100 million Christians in the Holodomors. Do you know the history of communism? Then you will know why South Africa is communist today. I'm an ex vet. Thanks for this video. 78309549bg
No ...its not the same...in fact it very bad...we SADF where 3rd best in the world in our time..SANDF are now 47 in the world....and if you White the Sandf is very RACIST and will make yr life HELL
@@lucianolorenzi6187 They were never 3rd best in the world in terms of size, equipment or training. That would put them above the British, Chinese and Cubans (who defeated them) so I find that unlikely
A joke🤣if the anc fought the war they would lose almost everything.let me give you a history lesson from 1958-1993 south Africa was the best army in the southern hemisphere!!so go check how the army is now🙄
@@lucianolorenzi6187 this video is a joke, because it makes the same people who raided villages and killed innocent men, women and children look like victims. It's a stupid video, I'm Namibian and was alive during this war. This is a big stupid joke.

We Were Betrayed By FwDeKlerk
What did he do?
Gave up South Africa’s nuclear weapons and negotiated with terrorists. Never give up major weapons.
You guys should have kept fighting like us here in Israel, you should have took out old FW Deklerk too. No matter what the left says we'll never stop fighting these terrorists.
Flat Wheel
We let you down (uk), along with selling out Rhodesia. We are so sorry, we should have stood shoulder to shoulder with you both.
South African defence force backed by its allies? Which allies is it referring to?
I was conscripted into SADF from 1989.
So glad I wasn’t born 5 years earlier.
I served 87-89.

NZ is going down the same road. Current PM is a communist in sheeps clothing.
