Afternoon Jow Forums
I sevred in the South African Border War.
I enlisted when I was 17 years old in 1982, I was straight out of highschool and spent 7 years fighting for my country.
I'm 54 now and very tired.
I'd like to tell you a story or two before I go.
(Excuse my spelling, I'm half way to very drunk)
Mu unit was considered rather special, we destroyed everything we touched and that wasn't our job. Our job was reconnaissance. There were three David's including myself and we were nicknamed deez to avoid confusion. Deez #1, #2, and #3. They called me D, #2 was Deez and our third was called Dizzy because he was a bit un-co. I want to tell you about Deez.
Deez was a short. Really short. 5'6" roughly but build like a brick shithouse. He was a brengunner on our right side and a complete fucking lunatic. Any time we engaged in a firefight everybody else would move and shoot but not deez, he'd hold his fucking trigger on his bren, scream the entire time, and walk FORWARD. I've never seen anything like it. He never took a shot, and always threw up and always pissed himself when everything settled but still he's the strongest man I think I've ever met. I still have the utmost respect for him.
