Though I can't help but wonder how fast a group from THR could restore order to that nation.

Restore order how exactly? You can't repair a nation by simply shooting all the "bad guys." This crap has been engrained into their culture over the past centuries...

Most know very little of western culture and society, and what we see as order and democracy is totally alien to them. Fact of the matter is, no one know exactly how to restore places like this. The Iraq war has proved how difficult this can be. Religion, extremist politics, and fanaticism rule supreme in these countries...
 
A person has to wonder how such impoverished people can have a seemingly endless supply of guns and ammo.

Then how did they get coherent enough to build the city in the first place? Yeesh...how'd they get from architecture and multi-story construction to life jackets as body armor?
 
Simple!

"Then how did they get coherent enough to build the city in the first place?"

European colonialists. Next intractible question.

"Yeesh...how'd they get from architecture and multi-story construction to life jackets as body armor?"

Nationalism and self-determination.

So-called, of course. :rolleyes:
 
I've never been in a situation where bullets were flying all over.You have to think... even an "errant hit" could be deadly! On the other hand...a truely cool headed killer could wreak havock...shot after shot! I agree with you all. Those are some funny pictures. I've seen some similar shots on news footage off and on...always laugh.
Mark.
 
Read almost anything about the Zulu warriors when they first took up rifles in the 19th century. They would push the sights all the way up to give the rounds that "extra power".

Most of the Africans with the education and Western sophistication to save these countries have already left for civilization and most are far too smart to go back.

In subSaharan Africa, it's back to good old tribal life, just with better weapons, any veneer of real politics is just that and wearing thinner by the generation. Once they kill off all the wildlife the only reason for the rest of the world to go there will be to extract the minerals. It might be worth investing in trade blanket and bead futures. :uhoh:

As was said, self-determination might have been a bit premature.

The result was the establishment of the American Colonization Society -- an organization tasked with handling the emigration. The Society’s first president was Bushrod Washington (nephew to President Washington). Other prominent officers and members included Henry Clay, Francis Scott Key, James Monroe and Daniel Webster. Leading African-Americans thoroughly disenchanted with America, such as Absalom Jones and Richard Allen, also became leading members. A majority of freed slaves, however, did not approve of the emigration scheme, arguing that they were fully American and had a duty to fight for those still enslaved.

I's like a bad episode of survivor 150 years later.

Cold War foreign aid.Many African countries bounced between the West and USSR,often playing one off against the other,and part of the bounty was a whole heap of small arms.
 
The funniest one has to be the guy in a prone, unsupported, position with the *** look on his face reaching for the charging handle.............magazine floorplate launched to areas unknown, mag spring sproinged out the bottom.....:D :evil:
 
When I was in the Democratic Republic of Congo this summer, they were moving troops through the city I was in. I would say about one third to one half of the AKs there had the butt removed, with almost all of them very rusted. I have no idea how they got any accuracy when shooting. Basic training goes a long way in teaching soldiers how to fight. If you go across the border into Rwanda you will find well trained soldiers with very well kept weapons.

I would not make broad statements like that without some evidence. I have met many Congolese, Rwandans, and Burundians that have been educated in the U.S. and went back to work in their home countries. These are by far some of the highest quality people I have ever met.

I study African politics amongst other things for a living, and empirically your statement is not true for most African countries.

While an extra adrenalin output might help you to club your enemy harder, it does not necessarily help with fire discipline.
A few years back in Ivory Coast about 400 Nigerian "peacekeepers" unexpectantly met some locals and emptied their guns until they ran out of ammo, they then surrendered just to be released a few days later since the insurgents did not want to feed them. Let's assume each soldier had only five 20 round mags for his FAL.....
 
...oh, I forgot , the Nigerians did not kill anybody, so there were no hard feelings.
 
Since when?

"If you go across the border into Rwanda you will find well trained soldiers with very well kept weapons."

Yet the majority of those murdered during the ethnic cleansing there were killed by machetes and/or being burned alive in locked buildings.

Since when have firearms become the weapon of choice in Rwanda?
 
Tory, the "militias" that did the massacring in Rwanda were largely civilians armed with whatever they could pick up from their houses and farms. The insurgents who then attacked and took over the country were at least partially trained, and have benefited from further training once they became the Government. They're now among the better-trained African armies (although no African army would really do well against a First World military force in a conventional war).
 
Most of the African fighters in those pictures are high on dope. Drugs are rampant in the militias. Give them strength and kills the pain.:rolleyes:

I don't know what the Rwandan military used to be like, but as I understand it, they now receive a lot of military aid from Uganda. When I was there some years ago, all the Ugandan soldiers I saw looked like they were well trained and disciplined.

Yeah, out of context the pictures are funny, sort of. I laughed too. But lots of people do get killed there, and usually not the ones who "need killin". The laughter does have a bitter after taste.

As Number 6 says, most of Africa is not like this. In fact the parts of Africa I have seen, are very different from this.
 
The only fighting I would do if I lived there would be to get to the airport.

That's third world +p+ if I ever saw it.
