    Mi padre combatiò en esa guerra, era un oficial cubano. No caigo en disputas ideológicas. El siempre me habló con respeto del ejercito sudafricano y de sus soldados. Aunque si enemigos en el campo de batalla, solo en el campo de batalla, sintió siempre respeto e incluso admiración por aquellos valerosos soldados. Honor y respeto de mi parte para todos los que combatieron , especialmente los que cayeron en aquella guerra.

      Hola compatriota, yo tengo primos que participaron en la guerra de Angola. Con el paso del tiempo está más que claro que Cuba al igual que Sudáfrica participaron en un conflicto interno angolano, cada uno apoyando a un bando contrario, con la diferencia que Cuba, un país pobre y sin recursos, se desangró luchando en tierras muy lejanas, en un conflicto que no representaba ningún interés para el cubano común, mientras Sudáfrica luchaba para mantener un aliado vital como Namibia en su vecindario y para alejar el peligro del comunismo, en teoría al menos. Saludos.

      @yasalc Před 4 měsíci +1

      @@juanmar4712 Hola un saludo compatriota. Concuerdo con lo que dices, en cuanto a la guerra en Angola y que fuera vencida o no, no cambiaba nada al cubano común o a Cuba. Se podía no intervenir en esa guerra, no Cuba al menos que es un pequeño país. Pero atrás de cada guerra hay intereses políticos que no eran solo los de Cuba. Nuestro país se desangró sí, per la demografía y economia fue una cosa inmensa, descomunal, obviamente las armas las metía la URSS y todo el material pero los hombres los ponia Cuba. Sudáfrica luchaba para parar el comunismo o algo similar y las intenciones de independencia. Namibia, si no he leído mal en esa época era una colonia, no era un país independiente, era la última colonia en Africa, si no leí mal. Ahora si era mejor o peor para ellos no lo sé, conozco poco de Namibia pero creo que para los pobres allí cambió poco, siguen siendo pobres. Mi padre estuvo en esa guerra y tambien el esposo de mi tía, por suerte regresaron vivos y sanos, espero también tus primos. Muchos no regresaron o lo hicieron mutilados o enfermos.

      Well spoken sir. The Afrikaner people will rise again. Forget all the stuff about the rainbow nation. It never existed. Only a white/Afrikaner dominated state guarantees the future of European civilisation in South Africa. Orania magnified 1,000 times. Western nations are heading for the same crisis as South Africa as a result of mass, unassimmable immigration from the third world. The USA will break up and be partitioned by the middle of the 21st century and Europe will be engulfed in massive ethnic strife. Separate Development and self government is the only way forward for all mankind because national identity is the ultimate stuff of politics since it poses the most fundamental question of all "Who do you think you are"?

    Awesome sounding song, but you may not have noticed it's actually pro communist and not pro democracy. Van Owen is obviously a fictional South African because Roland 'blew him to... Johannesburg'. Roland wasn't South African, he was a fictional mercenary from Denmark. And at the idea at the end about Patty Hearst, who was real, is that 'she bought it', as in, she joined the communist cause, she fell for their 'smart' propoganda. I think the SADF did a stirling job and weren't as bad as everyone made them out to be. Nobody is perfect, but you can see the difference between those who want evil to persist and those who are defending freedom of choice within the bounds of human goodness. Communism is just foundationless, 'might is right'. Hard to find modern remixes of the best of these songs. This is so catchy!

      Yes you were not freedom fighters you were terrorists killing innocent people , a freedom fighter only target government institutes , you came in to s w a and planted land mines killing S W A white farmers that is the reason why you are terrorists the same as mandela did .you also allowed the communist country's entrance to be close to the S W A border so that they can invade the south of Africa that would have given them the control of the shipping route around the south point should a 3rd world war start , luckeky we were too strong for you and stopped them in their tracks .

      You must thank the South African taxpayer for the bilions of Rand you inherited as SWA was treated as the 5 province of South Africa. Otherwise you would have inherited a Country like Angola or Mozambique...
