It's virtually impossible to shape a beret the same way as everyone's head is different, everyone's hands are different, as I said in England you will see that the berets of regiments never shape the same even if they are shown how to "do it properly" and that's just one example, you will see it in America too and literally everywhere else.

      in the DRC SANDF soldiers scored the now 8th longest sniper kill, he went out and killed 6 M23 rebel leaders, while the rest of the SANDF army attack the M-23 rebel base, they pushed them back to the border, then we used our Rooivalk attack helicopters to destroy them, they surrender 3 days later. M-23 were pretty much wiped out but SANDF soldiers. In C.A.R. 200 SANDF soldiers took on 3000 rebels. they held their ground over a 13-hour firefight until a cease-fire was called. 13 SANDF soldiers died and over 800 rebels were killed. so no they don't run away and they have been in some of the single-action fights on the African continent. in the US 20 years in Iraq and Afganistan they have not had a single engagement as fierce as the one SA was involved in.... maybe SA JDU learn something about the topic before you type rubbish like a complete moron
