A Man Among Men - The Rhodesian Light Infantry

Rome - One Fire for those who like the song

God they were so masculine

When they say are you thinking of Rome but your actually thinking of Rhodesia 😤

Yeah,BabiEz!. ROCK ON, ❤️ & 🙏 🤲 wh0le WorLD inn mye HA ND ZZ!.

So, 50 years later, how's that "decolonising" and "independence" working out for everyone in Europe and Africa? Belgium? France? Hello Germany? Figured out that everything is connected yet? Your parents and grandparents abandoned colonial Africa to the wolves and now it's you who are reaping what they have sown.

Reminds me of the time my entire family was annihilated by a big truck 😢

Rhodesia-“Zimbabwe” are near future of Europe 😢

Rhodesia will rise again!

is mustache guy the same guy from Kongo??

Rhodesia never dies!!!

Well whaddya know - another racist mass shooting of innocent people, another discovery of the killer's Rhodesia merchandise. It's almost like this is what you all stand for or something

Azov❤

We shall never see the likes of them again….

The most spartan song I ever heard

A great people

Lol at the lost cause vibe of all the fascists commenting and flex of military fantastic performance but getting booted out in the end, that's a lot of salt. 😂

Even as a communist I have to admit these men were chads among chads

I am so sad about Rhodesia. How could they not have gotten the same help Ukraine is getting? Genuinly I am shedding tears over this country and its brave soldiers defending their nation.

Utterly sad seeing what could have been.

We definitely need movie about men among men but not filmed by hollycrackwood

Cutoff jeans, handlebar mustaches and combat boots. Real men

My neighbour is RLI

Alba gu brath

My optometrist is a Rhodesian.🎉

Despite being a rather small country in Africa, Rhodesia not only had an impressive economy, but it had one of the greatest infantry forces in the history of the world. It's downfall came not in the field, but due to bullshit politics ... and we all know what happened from there.

The quality of man determines the age in which he lives in.

uncle adolf warned you

Вы мне еще за Родезию не ответили

Step 1: topple zionism in the USA, Step 2: Save Europe from the hordes, Step 3: Save the Boer and reclaim Rhodesia. Train hard, take action, and achieve the dream. Onward to total victory!

I went into the Rhodesian Army in April 1967 when I was 17 years old and finished my time in May 2000 when it became Zimbabwe

The Selous Scouts commander was Lt Col Ron Reid Daly and I knew him personally and may of the Scouts were my friends .Some still to this day we communicate with each other. This was the best unit in our Army and there were only 100 who got to wear this badge. The training was unbelievably tough to join and only the best of the best managed to pass.

They were taught many skills used in our Bush War and operated mostly alone behind enemy lines causing much destruction . I have many stories to share of their accomplishments and their heroism .They killed 1000s of terrorists with minimum casualties of their own. The SEAL teams in USA Military could be compared to the Scouts in terms of training and missions. The SAS C Squadron in Rhodesian Army was also used in many operations against the Terrorists

We fought 2 groups one backed by Russia using the AK47 and one backed by China using the SKS.We had the SLR in the beginning of the war then were issued the FN 7.62 x 51 very accurate and effective automatic rifle with magazines of 20 rounds . Our war was mostly close combat and in the Rhodesian war. Camouflage training was used to our advantage. We never had helmets or body armor and only wore a camo shirt ,trousers and cap. Our boots were Veldskoens and of course we had a backpack on missions into the bush primarily for carrying rations a poncho and oc course we had several bandoliers of ammo plus 4 magazines ready in case of a terrorist contact. We used the French Alouette helicopter for dropping troops into a firefight with the terrs .I had been in these choppers many times and had room for the Pilot who was the only one who had a door on the chopper. The machine gunner was also the Tech and sat on the left side with one revolving seat in the front .the back seat was just a bench and room for 4 personnel. One of my buddies was blown out the chopper one day when we were heading back to base and fortunately he was holding to the one strat on the roof and I grabbed him and brought him into the chopper. He thought it was his last day and all he could say for the next 4 weeks of that op was “FUCK ME” hilarious
I will share many stories if you like and if you have any particular interest let me know. One of the Scouts I know has been training your guys in the art of bush warfare to assist your training.

We only had 10000 men total in our Army and was divided into 4 brigades
I did my training and was in Depot Royal Rhodesian Regiment C Company 8 Platoon .We gave up being loyal to the crown and declared UDI in 1965 then it was Depot Rhodesian Regiment. I was selected for the Rhodesian Corps of Signals and passed all my courses and tests and was attached to all the JOCS in most of the anti terror operations .I was mainly in the North and West parts of the operations.

We had a lot of Brit instructors who fought in Malaysia, Palestine, Korea and wherever Britain was involved in any theater. . Good instructors but ruthless and hard men which was why we were so good I guess as discipline was paramount. . By the way the first day we arrived at our barracks the RSM lined us up and informed us that if anyone disobeyed an officers command he was authorized to execute us on the spot. Imagine this today? ^ of us would take on 50 terrorists and win as we feared our officers more than the enemy lol
Take care brother and wish you all the best in your career. Remember camaraderie is so important .If you cannot rely on the man next to you and him on you in a war it will be disastrous. The men who stood by our side whether White, Black Brown or Green were 100% reliable and had each others back. Good time are always had in the canteen after duty and downing at least 6 beers. My pay was $1 a day but beers were $0.15c and a pack of cigarettes $0.20 so with free food free medical free lodging and free clothing our pay was rapidly dissolved in the Canteen.


Great Life . More to follow let m know if you get this


Chat later

I'm a waiter & I have a Rhodesian volunteer from Australia , that moved to Rhodesia from Australia after Vietnam & then to south Africa after the collapse & then to America in the 90s after south Africa's collapse , one of the most polite & gentlemen I've ever met , name is Daniel , you would never expect him to have been on Fire-Force Landings & have seen heavy combat , I only knew he was a veteran from his ANZAC Vietnam hat he was wearing , the conversation all started from that , ended up buying the fellas meal , he now comes in and talks to me quite regularly , such a rare breed of guy , very honored to have had the chance to meet someone of his caliber

We won't reveal our ailments and what haunts our sleep nightly
In this tiny little world, we've locked ourselves in so tightly
And the dead stand between us like wraiths and the people we've abandoned
The life, we've surrendered to the streams
Oh Rhodesia, I've given you my vow
And I owe nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
One fire fights, one fire
One-nil, one-nil
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail
One fire fights, one fire
One-nil, one-nil
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail
All that's left now are dreams of kings we murdered to dissect
For our meddling intellect misshapes the beauteous forms of things
So we bleat a little, twist a little, rotting in the belly of the beast
While you feel you cannot be wrong
Oh Rhodesia, I've given you my vow
And I owe nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
One fire fights, one fire
One-nil, one-nil
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail
One fire fights, one fire
One-nil, one-nil
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail
One fire fights, one fire
One-nil, one-nil
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail
Oh Rhodesia, I've given you my vow
And I owe nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
One fire fights, one fire
One-nil, one-nil
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail
One fire fights, one fire
One-nil, one-nil
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail
One fire fights, one fire
One-nil, one-nil
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail
One fire fights, one fire

Rhodesia could have brought Africa to a high point now Africa is just a Ebola aids infestation

As British ex pat living in Africa my whole life and in Salisbury...salute every RLI soldier and the other units of the Rhodesia armed forces...we were all deceived and continue to be deceived by the British government...Rest in Peace those who made the ultimate sacrifice..God bless you all.❤

Killing people because some fucking guy tells you it's OK doesn't make you a man.

Does anyone have written lyrics I can read? I'm about def and can't make out words lol

Leaving the politics out they were one hell of a force

Rhodesia bread basket of Africa
Zimbabwe basket case of Africa.
