I agree that majority rule tragically ruined most of the countries in Africa. I am friends with a number of individuals that live/lived in those countries. Having worked with their military in the past I have come to know more about what is happening there then most Americans.

Airborne Soldier There are a few open forums, but most are closed to non members. Vetting of members for the closed sections is very controlled. You have to basically be identified by someone that was in the command structure, proving you were in the South African Parabat, to become a member of the closed board. I am a vetted member.
