    What was it Paul Hardcastle said in his song 19? Average age of the combat soldier was 26 in WW2 and 19 in Vietnam.

    How true I'm not sure.

    Perhaps they could include waist circumference stats as well?

    I'll go there, leave them as they are, they are most likely only to be employed against us for when we don't want to comply with this radical economic transformation agenda...

    Lets face it, South Africa's first line of defense in the even of an attack is the Armed Response in Polokwane

    I don't know, after the last few weeks of capability demonstrations against unarmed, elderly civilians, women and children I think they should rank right up there.

    I am no historian, but I have never heard of a country with good leadership and leadership capabilities and a seriously weak defense force. Also not of a country with seriously bad leadership and leadership capabilities with an excellent defense force.

    (The ideology are not part of the "good vs bad" leadership.)
