Every white African I have ever met, whether from South Africa or Rhodesia, was a killer. They are outnumbered badly and they will get no help from anywhere and will be most likely demonized as racists in the history books (because it's somehow unreasonable for white people to hate the folks who are murdering them and their loved ones today, but it's okay for blacks to hate you for looking like the guys who owned slaves 150 years ago), but I am quite confident they will make this very bloody and expensive for the folks who attack them.
nothing worse than a pissed off Dutchman in his home turf. They fought the Brits under horrific conditions an I don't think the blood has thinned a lot since then.
You remember me talking about breeding Boerboel dogs? When I was researching the breed, one of the stories I read cited the complete lack of sentimentality among the Boer settlers as a driving force in how that breed became larger, stronger, more agile, faster, more loyal, more intelligent, and better around families, including small children, than just about any other dog in the world. The Dutch settlers would ruthlessly cull the deficient ones immediately upon observation of the slightest sign of weakness, fear, physical deformity, or poor attitude. Bang!!! And into a hole.... the survivors were only the very best. It takes a hard heart to kill puppies.
Sounds like Sparta.
Sentimentality was a luxury they couldn't afford in that place and time.
Harsh land breeds harsh people, I highly recommend Michener s covenant
