I SALUTE OUR OLD MILITARY THOSE SOLDIERS WERE TRUE SOUTH AFRICAN HERO'S THAT WERE PROUD OF WHAT THEY WERE DOIN OF DEFENDING THEIR COUNTRY OUR COUNTRY, I'LL WILL ANY TIME CARRY AN R1 RIFLE ON MY BACK FOR AN TRUBUTE FOR AND TO MY GRANDFATHER THAT WERE PART OF THE BORDER WAR!!!
They were really badass...They made the Russians, Cubans and East Germans run tail between the legs...The Russians admitted that the Cubans could Never win against the SADF without suffering unacceptable losses.
Badass you ask? Go and stand in front of the old guy with his browns than go and stand infront of todays "soldier" . if you can let them stand next to each other on attention,i bet you will see the old guy has more discipline. Sorry to say but im glad i didnt go to our sadf . I saw in person the lack of discipline at a base. And if a chain is only strong as its weakest link. The old guys went through hell with their training and it prepared them for war. salute to them!! The same can be said regarding how the sap was back than. Put one of those captains or which ever rank next to one of todays saps and you will see a difference.
