Rhodesia - Interesting story...Anyone know someone from there?

I was at a dinner party over the weekend and met an ex-pat from Rhodesia. He was born and raised there. He was in the Selous Scouts and had to leave the country when Mugabe took over. He had to leave everything behind. He told us all kinds of stories of growing up there and you could tell that the memories made him sad for what was lost.

I spent a couple of hours yesterday doing some research and the fall of Rhodesia is truly a sad story. Unfortunately, there are a few troubling parallels to what is happening in the US. It just goes to show how meddling by outside forces can cause everyone to lose.

Does anyone know someone from Rhodesia who lived through the fall?
