Re: The lingering, unspoken pain of white youth who fought for apartheid
Really? Forced SA men to annex? Altogether ignoring the fact that South Africa was an Allied power in the First World War and made war on the German enemy in South West Africa? Altogether ignoring the fact of the League of Nations mandate given to South Africa? The book starts to sound like an exercise in misinformation…

Thanks for clearing that Paul, I have a limited view. Partially due to my age: I did not serve - and partially due to my work: I am not in touch with all the different groups of SA society on a daily base.
I'll be quiet now. It will surely mean a lot if more old hands can give input like yours.

the current youth of south africa. black and white, whether they know it or not are THANKFUL for the sacrifices made on the border
Although we have a socialist leaning governement, Communism would have been full blown here, and the SADF essentially put an end to cuban military influence in africa

I don't care much for the Cubans and their culture. To me stopping them was more of an issue than stopping the communist as such.

Re: The lingering, unspoken pain of white youth who fought for apartheid
In my experience with them , the racial discrimination with them was far worse than with the Whites in South Africa.
The Whites still had some level of respect for blacks on a one on one . The Cubans I met had what appeared to be deep seated racial superiority and class issues . Either way, fuck them.live out your imagination , not your history.
