Henry120: So what excatly is your argument now? I cant keep up with your dislocated ramblings |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Msauza(m): 11:28am On Apr 09, 2015 |
Henry120: Those are US marines, Special forces, and ordinary US army.

Henry120: What you gunna do when your truck is blown up? Or you get pinned down? Or you have to go where your truck cannot? Or if you have to dismount in a rush and counter-attack - how will you conduct a sustained fire fight? Gunna give up your cover to run back to the truck for more mags? What if a man gets hit? You gunna say "hold on igbo, im just gunna run back to the truck and dig around for the med kit, try not to bleed to death in the meantime"? |

Patchesagain: That's a 2015 photo. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 11:54am On Apr 09, 2015 |
Henry120: Prove it. Those men are wearing a cammo the US military got rid of around 2005. So, either they are SF/SOF (which usually means they wear whatever they want) or its been taken around the time of the Gulf War Invasion or Pre-Surge Occupation. The M249 Para leads me to suspect SF |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 11:55am On Apr 09, 2015 |
Msauza: Thats also an old photo The ghetto-rigged gun-truck in the background gives it away. Looks like its early occuption. |

Patchesagain: You only have 3 operational C-130's. Evidence has been provided, go search the archives. I provided that information in december of 2014. If you have enough Operational C-130's you won't need leased planes to support stranded troops in the CAR. 1 Like |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 12:11pm On Apr 09, 2015 |
Henry120: I have just provided evidence that clearly says otherwise. We have 5 you have 3 - end of story I have told you why we lease I am sorry that it does not suit your opinion - but facts are facts Feel free to repost your citation if you wish to continue your argument 1 Like |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 12:11pm On Apr 09, 2015 |
Patchesagain: Again, prove has been provided that U.S forces wear multiple Camos. That's a 2015 photo. They are regular U.S forces. R3tard regular U.S forces use the M249 as a basic fire support for regular squads. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 12:13pm On Apr 09, 2015 |
Patchesagain: My point is, stop passing your regular VBSS team for some "special squad" as they aren't. 1 Like |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 12:15pm On Apr 09, 2015 |
Henry120: Prove its from 2015 US Army now wears one type of cammo in all environments - UCP Just like marines with CAPDAT Just like France and the UK and Canada The M249 they have is not a standard issue version - look at the buttstock. Its either a MK49 0 or M249 Para. This is pure fact. I am sorry if it doesnt suit your world veiw - but i cant change reality for you, so put on your big boy pants and deal with it. 1 Like |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 12:15pm On Apr 09, 2015 |
Henry120: They are low-teir SOF. Pure and simple |

Patchesagain: You do realise your 400 men in the CAR had only 1 medic. U.S forces carry 7 mags per man. Nigerian forces carry 5 mags per man I've seen NATO forces with only 4 Mags, some 3. There is always enough rounds in the truck or APC for re-supply. 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 12:21pm On Apr 09, 2015 |
Henry120: Who said they only had one medic? You making things up again? 400 men? Really? So you have less than NATO? And by defeault us? Dont post anecdotal evidence - no one cares And answer my question- what happens if it gets hit? Are you going to constantly expose yourself to run back and get more? |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 12:22pm On Apr 09, 2015 |
patches689: They are nothing more than a VBSS team. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 12:22pm On Apr 09, 2015 |
Henry120: Because YOU say so? |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Msauza(m): 12:23pm On Apr 09, 2015 |
Henry120: Yet not the same as Nigerian military. US army has its uniform, so is the marines and special forces. NA is just a confused rats when it comes to uniform. They are no different to rebels at all. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 12:23pm On Apr 09, 2015 |
patches689: US forces in Afghanistan, multiple cammo and a basic fire-support rifle. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 12:25pm On Apr 09, 2015 |
patches689: That's what they are. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 12:26pm On Apr 09, 2015 |
Henry120: Well, I guess you dont know what a basic M249 looks like the If they are in afghanistan why do they have blank adaptors on their rifles? Do yoh usually fire blanks in battle? So now its gon from "us army" to "us forces"? |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 12:27pm On Apr 09, 2015 |
Henry120: Because YOU say so? |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Msauza(m): 12:29pm On Apr 09, 2015 |
Henry120: Multiple cammo yet different divisions, dummy. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 12:29pm On Apr 09, 2015 |
patches689: 1 medic for 400 troops. That's the SANDF way. A pathetic excuse for a military. We have a proportionate number of Mags per man, plus more. And who says 5 Mags won't be enough to neutralise an enemy, you? Unlike the SANDF, the NA can pretty well shoot. 3 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 12:31pm On Apr 09, 2015 |
Henry120: Again, who says one medic for 400 men? Who says 400 men? Proportionate? NATO and SANDF carry an extra 90 rounds per man!! Thats an extra 1800 rounds per platoon!! An extra 72 000 rounds per battalion! |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Msauza(m): 12:34pm On Apr 09, 2015 |
Henry120: Our records have been written on the wall for all to see that we can kill a target more than two kilometres away. What have you achieved? |

MikeCZAR: Msauza: Nuclear weapons have shelf life and EXPIRY DATE....Fool ! "The nation's nuclear weapons were originally designed to last for 20 to 25 years. Each year, the directors of the Department of Energy's three nuclear weapons labs must certify that the stockpile weapons will perform as designed. If the performance of an older weapon becomes questionable, lab scientists must decide how to replace its aging parts in order to restore its peak performance. Aging weapon parts are a major topic for materials scientists are working to extend the lifetimes of stockpile weapons in two of Los Alamos' highest-priority programs. The goal of one of these programs is to extend the lifetime of a 25-year-old weapon system. These scientists must determine how the materials are changing so they can predict when a part will fail. Uranium alloys also change their crystal structures, or phases, over time, which also presents aging problems, over time, change the phase, thereby degrading a part's properties." http://www.lanl.gov/quarterly/q_w03/shelf_life.shtml South Africa's Nuclear weapons are NOT maintained for war and have all EXPIRED under UN ban/treaty Now send your junior sister to me in lieu of school fees payment , I will make her 'know me better' . |

agaugust: The weapons grade fissionable material is still 100% ready to be turned into a bomb Hence why the americans want to buy it from us and hence why we wont sell it - its our ace up our sleeve |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by agaugust: 12:49pm On Apr 09, 2015 |
patches689: Citation needed. Average self life of nuclear weapons is about 25 years, especially the out-dated old technology types South Africa got. They also need regular maintenance in those years during life time, poor maintenance means you can just b.low up your own country. Southie nuclear weapons have expired long time ago ! . |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 12:51pm On Apr 09, 2015 |
agaugust: So why do the americans desperatly want to buy it? We arent talking weapons We are talking weapons grade plutonium |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Msauza(m): 12:53pm On Apr 09, 2015 |
agaugust: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! SOUTH AFRICAS HEU NUCLEAR WEAPON FUEL IS PRESERVED AND CURRENTLY NOT IN USE. IT IS PRESERVED FOR FUTURE USE AND CAN ALWAYS BE ACTIVATED WITH ISOTOPES ANYTIME FOR REACTIVATION AND FILLING. YOU ARE ILLITERATE WITH ASPECTS OF NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY. |
