The life vest is sooo cool. If you are going to stand up and be a target, why not be a bright orange one!

Yeah, till somebody like me shows up and shoots back... with an M1 Garand... might just mistake 'em for a clay pigeon, orange side facing, on the 100yd berm.:cool:

(So far, I've only read to post #41, so I keep reading.)
 
Number 6, you seem so pro-African, and that's cool with me! Someone needs to take the cause.

Well I have made African Politics my regional specialty, and have done a lot of work on ethnic conflict. I am certainly not going to say that Africa does not have a lot of problems, and that they will be easy to overcome. I am also not saying that ethic differences are not a real problem in many of the countries either. The point I was trying to make was that there is a tendency to reduce the conflict in Africa to just tribalism, which is an incorrect notion. There are a lot of problems associated with differing ethnic groups, but similar problems happen in Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. Corruption, disease, war, and rampant poverty are problems a lot of the countries face, that exacerbate ethnic cleavages.

The problem is that often times we look at Africa as a lost cause, which it is not. Most of my personal experience is with Rwanda and the DRC. Yes, Rwanda experienced a horrible genocide 11 years ago, and yes it was largely ethnically based. If you talk to Rwandans however, some will tell you that prior to the genocide they considered themselves Rwandan and not a Hutu or a Tutsi, and for some reason that they cannot fully explain their tribal affiliations were made prevalent during the genocide. Today, Rwanda is stable, but it is also a dictatorship albeit a somewhat benevolent one. The government has gone a long way to heal the wounds that were created. That is not to say that there is not a lot of work a head, but today the ethnic differences have been ameliorated to some degree. The ethnic problems are still there and are problems, but the situation is stable and any violent conflict within Rwanda is not likely. Economically Rwanda is doing quite well, and while very poor, is progressing.

In terms of culture, yes there are many people who live much like their ancestors to, I have seen that as well. I am not arguing that diversification in some classically liberal sense is going to solve all the problems, or is a good thing, but like I said I just want to caution on viewing Africa too much through the prism of tribalism and backwardness. I have seen some of the worst parts of Africa as well. I was in the DRC and saw things that made me want to scream in despair. I have seen some really good things in Africa, and I have seen some really bad things. It

As idiotic as they look.......

As idiotic as they look, they would still kick the French Army's a**. The first sight of the red pants and life vest and the white flags and the wine and cheese would come out. :D In fact they are probably using the same style of fighting as the folks who ran the French out of Africa in the first place.
 
LOL, probably one of the funniest threads in a long time. Some of those comments were hilarious.

I loved the life vest, the cape, and the bright yellow poncho in the middle of fighting. Those deserve to go in the strategies and tactics forum :D

I found this funny as hell...

Not aiming = supressive fire.

You want your enemy to be ducking instead of firing at you. A few rounds in their general direction will often suffice. You do not need/want sniper fire.

This was the big leap forward with assualt rifles, the technique of not aiming every shot.

In WWI they restricted the number of rounds to prevent soldiers firing without aiming. It turned out to be a big mistake in combat.

Now if you could just explain the guy in the wheel barrow to me...(maybe he was wounded)
 
If the rounds aren't hitting near me, and I have cover, I'm not going to be "suppressed" very long. Then I'm going to reply with aimed fire.

Suppressing fire is only effective to create openings to maneuver and reply with aimed fire (or, alternately, run away). Suppressing fire never won a battle.

I think you MIGHT be giving them too much credit! If this is just a crazy way of using fire and maneuver tactics then where's the assault team? Or is that them in the wheelbarrow? LOL :neener: :neener:
 
Ya know, this is how the antis think of US. As a bunch of ignorant goons who just want to spray down whole neighborhoods with FA fire.

And so if it wasn't for gun laws we would be doing exactly that.
 
If I am wrong

If I am wrong and they are not firing supressive fire, then they are in severe need of training.
 
We're talking about crazed armed transvestites wearing "shoot me" colors, floatation devices, and animal heads. These are people who are in severe need of reality.
 
This is definately a LMAO thread. I also LMAO while i was watching the documentary on Discovery ( or one of those channels). I laughed right up until I saw a reporter ask the woman in charge of a local orphanage when the children had eaten last. The woman started to laugh, her response in broken english was " food, there is no food". It didn't seem as simple as let them kill each other any more. Neither side will let anything through to sustain the non-combatants. I know it's easy to laugh at this kind of thing, but remember , it's not always that funny.
 
Yeah, out of context these images are funny as hell, but considering the collateral damage to civilian population this is a fu**ing tragedy.:cuss:
 
I know nothing of African culture or politics. But those saying Bubba could do damage on these guys with a 30-30 is silliness.

Note the muscles and lack of excess body fat. These guys are used to a hard existance and blood and death is normal.

Bubba would be rendered useless in short order. Most of the guys I see at the range or the gurus of your favorite gun rag would be crying like little girls the first time 30 comically dressed, lanky, under trained Africans let fly with a few hundered rounds of unaimed fire.

I would be questioning the value of a 30-30 in that position.

I too find no humor in this. As tragic as it seems there may be some good out of this. If we could get them all to South East Asia we may very well have the answer to the Bird Flu.
 
If the civilians really wanted to do something about these problems they could do it themselves, neh?

They have more-or-less equal access to the flood of arms, they have a community to draw from, they are presumably competent adults. To somehow claim that they are unable to control their own society against this banditry and savagery leads one down a path of logic that ends supporting every idiotic racial stereotype ever uttered.

They have the tools and ability to fix this now and it didn't go bad overnight. It is a tragedy of, in the end, their own making; just as it would be if we let it happen here.
