A lot of those guys were WW2 vets who didn't fit into normal life after the world war. Strange to see 60 something year old guys as mercenaries. The guys who were around 20 in 1945 when the war ended would be around 40 in this footage.

Yea ... on the other hand the average age of a guerrilla fighter is around twelve to fourteen years old. Some were forced to shoot their parents before being 'recruited'. In the rebelling Simbas their leader gave them chicken bones and feathers to wear that would stop bullets. The iconic image of a fighter was a young kid with an AK-47 with a plastic garbage bag for a rifle strap. While the number of mercenaries varied at times from three hundred to a thousand the Simbas were in the thousands who had no conscience maiming their hostages, ie. scooping out eyes with a spoon or, eating them. Many commentators on this blog forget or don't know 5 Commando rescued many of these hostages. Not all but many.

3 months in Rhodesia depending on tasking.

My uncle Jimmy Calderhead fought with Mad Mike Hoare in the Congo as a merc. He later dispappeared and was considered KIA leaving a wife and four kids to fend for themselves. Twenty years later through my cousins persistent efforts, Europol located uncle Jimmy residing in Spain in total luxury owning his own nightclub, airfield and two tigers as pets living on his terraced roof of his mansion. He relocated back to South Africa where he once more got acquainted with his kids and apologised to my aunt Enid for dropping her high and dry. Long story short, over the last year he suffered immensely from Alzheimers and recently passed away in death. Another chapter of life finished.

Is it really worth it to have a wife and kid if you spend most of the year away from them? Or did he get married just to fit in with societal expectations? In my view if your job keeps you away from your family for most of the year there's really no point in getting married. Lets be frank here you'll cheat on your spouse and vice versa. Your kids will barely get to know you and vice versa. In my view if you chose such jobs don't get married just stay single. Marriage is for guys who spend more than 50% of the time with the spouse. Otherwise its just someone wanting to not stick out as single.

Ok, three stories - 1) he deserted the US Army in Vietnam because the Army wouldn’t extend him. He hooked up with French Foreign Legionaries, and fought along side them until the MPs found him. Apparently he was enough of an asset, all was forgiven. He may have had a break in service. 2) The story around Squadron was he was playing poker late into the evening, had a nice hand, and also needed to defecate. Rather than fold, and go to the latrine, he lifted a leg and crapped himself. I don’t know if he was an 11Bravo, or a 19Delta, but he was assigned to our Squadron in Germany. I’ve shared this clip with men from my former Unit, and it’s him. His mustache was legendary, and way outside AR670-1 regs, but no one cared. When I knew him he was an E7 SFC, don’t think he had a platoon. 3) At our gunnery, he was the NCOIC of the MaDuce range. He was beating me on the helmet with a big spoon screaming “Gooks in the wire, Gooks in the wire, Down a piaster!” I don’t know his nom de guerre, and I won’t share his born name, but it’s him.
