Sadly soldiers were betrayed by the flag they were fighting for as soon as it didn't suit the agenda. These brave men must never be forgotten. They served with pride and resilience.
What did we know at 18 yrs old? Souties, Rockspiders, Porras all together. Kilometers and kilometers in the sand, walking with full kit or on riding on a Buffel. Greetings my brothers, we are getting old now.
@stona9222 yea I know soutie comes from "one leg in England, one leg in Africa and your dick hangs in the ocean" I get called Soutie pretty often. Whats the story behind rockspider though?
@@stona9222 but where did it come from? I know Soutie comes from " one foot in England, one foot in Africa and your piele hangs in the ocean" I get called that pretty often😅
Sal ons ooit vergeet Nooit Dit was ons lot Elke sweet druppel Dit was en sal wees Elkeen van ons se trots Ons kinders sal dit nooit weet Wat ons van oorlog weet Geen wenners Dis wat ons nou weet
True…English speaking South Africans! We did our bit. Nobody can tell me Afrikaans speaking were better when the ‘shit hit the fan’. It depended on the individual! Some coped and some didn’t on both language sides. Although English speaking, some Afrikaans dudes were very good friends. Doepie my buddy PT partner must have been at least 10kg heavier than me, so Buddy PT a breeze for him, not me 😂 Oh yes. Mid year intake ‘79-‘81 at 8 SAI Upington, and also joined the 81’s ( mortars ).
Was a tiffy from Pretoria, then sent up to oshakati ,landed up bush patrol in otasha pan ,made me a man respect and respect and work hard for our family we love .
Links, Haks, Links, Haks. Omtree! Sien jy daai boem - gaan kry vir my n blaar! Verkerde blaar jou blerry Engelse onoesel! :))) Ek gaan jou kop afrik en in jou keel kak! (our Samajoer - bloody legend)
Ah yes, different times, good, better leaders than we have today, no loadshedding, low crime, social stability and few corrupt politicians. Getting old now and do not have respect for the self serving politicians of today.
I went to the border, not for fun but to do my duty. I was and still am proud to have served my country and its people. To my SADF brothers is say, stand proud and dont let anyone tell you otherwise.
I salute you!! All the brave men !! You are hero's!! God bless you all !! Young men gave their life's!! So sad! " where have all the flower's gone....!!!
1972 - basies gedoen, Genieskool, Kroonstad. 5 weke, 5 Militere Werke, Wonderboom. Res van weermag tyd, Caprivi, Katima Mullio. Kampe daar gebou met SA polisie wat grense gepatroleer het - Koporaal Hennie Venter.
When men were men and the enemy died for his cause but we had to put away the weaponry fir a chance at peace beware those who know how do not provoke us
1975 Ops Savanna Zulu Group. 8 SAI Upington. Charlie Company. I was 18 years old. A trained killing machine at 18. Now 67 and remember still just about everything and everyone I served with. Salute all my comrades.😢
What one knows, there are no winners in a war! Many men are now "bossies" ! Homo sapiens kill one another because one & or some men are power crazy. We have a common habitat, one destiny. Natural threats aren't that enough to say we are fools. We have communication, detant, negotiations, dialogue, what's wrong with that. WIN, WIN!
Ja ...ons SAP mannequin het ook harder bene gekou en ons is trots daarop ek Glo ons was die beste in die wereld Ek is trots Om deel van daai era te gewees het Kobus
