From the comments of the OP, warning immense racism

Which part are you referring to exactly? The world did view apartheid in that manner, no argument there. History says these men were on the wrong side. Although the military and political landscape is quite vast. Let's for argument's sake say what one person's experience was true, that he farmed in Namibia for the SADF in attempts to win hearts and minds, did his mandatory service automatically make him a racist? Surely not. As long as targets were military most of the time and in line with the greater goals of keeping communist states disorganized and supporting indigenous resistance, it would be quite hard to label military motives as racist.

:what-the-hell: :fidel-wut: :wut:

Also feel free to brigade that shithole subreddit as much as you want. I think I’m still banned for being anti NATO.

      Also the post is about foreign volunteers, not conscripts. It's so different that you can't even begin to compare, yet that's exactly what the comment does.

      Has this motherfucker ever heard of the Holocaust? Or even the literal concentration camps Britain held these very people's ancestors in during the Boer War?
