jln115: Either way, the term Commando would be incorrect. Frankly, there is only one set of Commandos who still exist and they are in the service of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. And they only just slip into the ambit of "SOF"

jln115: No problem Still, its not to much to ask to expect people to call them Recces. Pic unrelated, Recce over-alls and non-standard battle-jacket but Parachute beret? What am I looking at here? Pathfinder?

jln115: I only asked one question, why are the South-African commandos wearing pink boots? I'm still awaiting the answer, which you South-Africans can't seem to be able to provide. Not the hullabaloo nonsense you guys are spamming my mentions with. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 1:43pm On Jan 24, 2017 |
Patchesagain:Agreed! But here's a nice history piece of 5SFR: as you can see even today companies are still called commandos! http://www.recce.co.za/special-forces-history/5rr-5sfr-history |

Patchesagain: You are insulting, and posting photos of foreigners in an African military thread, yet pointing out that South-African commandos are wearing pink boots is some how derailing the thread. "Are you okay? " |

Henry240: Henry120: De-rails thread and is provocative Henry120: Is shocked when people are provoked and the thread is de-railed The boots arent pink and the explanation was provided on multiple occasions. Clearly you are feeling emasculated by the fantastic performance Senegal put on and are looking for a fight. You need to be better. 1 Like
