You know how they say, everything has a beginning and an end, but as long as you remember, it never dies. Rhodesia would have set a dangerous precedent by showing, especially to other countries in Africa, what a well managed african country could become. In my opinion that's why, during the cold war, it was battled against by both west (on the political level) and east (on the military one). And what's worse, is that the whole thing has been marketed as an emancipation war. Which is fun if you think about it, because today, in 2021, we're seeing a lot of stuff being phased out or heavily rearranged in the name of equality.

It'll be in my mind too

Thank You John for waking Me and opening My eye’s , ear’s , mind and heart to the cause and history of Rhodesia. As a patriotic American I am saddened by My Country’s indifference to the Cause of Rhodesia. There is not enough space to tell how proud I am of all Who fought against communist subjugation and manipulation of Native peoples and those who strove so long and hard to bring truly meaningful and benevolent Governance and rights to everyone in Rhodesia and South Africa. If That Handsome guy in the Video is Your Son , You must Be proud of Him. You had Mentioned in another video how Your daughter influenced Your music and As a fan I am grateful for that and proud of Her as well. I am a Father and Grandfather Myself . One Son made a career in the Army as a Special Forces Doctor and all of them are musically and artistically inclined to greater or lesser degrees in different ways. One of My Daughters has a Belgian Malinois and is training it like a police dog to protect and identify scents. She is also a very good , successful canine and feline psychologist. I am another who holds rhodesian Vets and the Families that kept the home fires burning in high esteem.

Thank you for your music, John! It make me all warm inside when listening to it. This tune in particular teaches a good life lesson that I will be sure to pass down to my son.

Wow, no kidding. He's the only celebrity I care about, probably because he represents something that has been sadly lost to history but will never truly die out: the Rhodesian spirit that many of us so admire. Apparently he owns a resort lodge in SA, Kunkuru I think it's called. I wonder if you could meet him there?

John Edmond himself runs the channel, he's still making music to this day.

I love this song, Whistling it every day, keep it up!

Thanks for Your kind reply John. Songs like The Whistling Troopie and You Ain’t No Hero, I believe should be taught and sung in schools around the world. Kids need good role models . They are heavily influenced and want to identify with the music , film and other entertainment they experience. We can raise good kids and protect them only so much. They will mingle with others especially in school who if not also raised properly can tempt them into corruption. You are to Rhodesia South Africa and perhaps soon the World what Steven Foster was to America in the times leading up to and including the American Civil War. I love all Your Song’s and Music . As a Hunter and Gun enthusiast who likes collecting and shooting old Military Arms , muzzle loader’s etc. all that History and Your tracking video are of great interest and enjoyment. Again all Your creations are excellent ,Rhodesian School Day’s and Rhoadie Cologne can get anyone to reminiscing about old times and friends.

I love this song.

Absolutely Kino

Well he should be wearing hese webbing in the bush and not carrying hese bal sak lol, but i spose hese bal sak is appropriate since its what he finaly goes home with and matches what hese whisteling about right ?, in my military yrs i spent alot of time alone in the South African bush and became a pro whister myself with the birds and nature as my audiance, and they loved it 🤣👍

Excellent !!!!!!
