The good old days when everyone feared the SADF. These were exceptional operators, I was fortunate to serve alongside some of them in 32 Battalion days. I remain a proud, but old and exiled, veteran of SA’s bush war. That proud country looks dilapidated now and I often wonder why I and my former comrades made such sacrifices. All I have are the medals and memories but my hatred for the enemy still burns in me. Thank you for the awesome pictures.

Crap they cant fight,101bn boer. . We had 200 contacts. In one yeat

[@jrr2377]

Well done bro - 101 was an excellent mobile fighting unit. I know many of the guys from that era - many became SF soldiers. Bear in mind that Special Forces was not only created to fight (that can be done by any proper infantry), but to find, gather Intel, infiltrate and destroy the enemy behind their lines by any/all means necessary (explosives, sabotage, assassinations etc.) - sometimes deep into enemy territory (and various African countries). To train a SF soldier to only go on shootouts with enemy forces is a waste as it cost millions to train but one SF soldier. Regards

​@@jrr2377 you are absolutely right. I sounded a bit disrespectful. Our single purpose was contacts and tracking

​@@Daniel-yr8yc101 was an SADF attempt to mimic Koevoet. But unfortunately never came close

[@Daniel-yr8yc]

@@Phansikhongolza koevoet were totally disorganized and shot just about everyone for koppe. The army was far better trained. Also did Quito cunavale. See Born to war episode 2.....maybe after your time

@@Phansikhongolza but maybe you could be right,just my experience......best of luck
