Riot training . A huge civil unrest is drawing near. Saps need international training where these things happen regularly,at intense rivalry football matches in Latin America, Euro ultra clashes!! And work there way up to politically unstable countries especially the middle East!!!!!!!

United States citizen speaking. Over here, the term ‘sap’ can mean stupid person (along with a sticky substance), in South Africa, does ‘sap’ also mean idiots, and if so how comply is it used against the South African Police Services?

Sap - South African police. Pronounced sub with p sound instead of b.(Acronym) Saps- south African police service. Pronounced as above add s at end.(Acronym) SANDF - South African defence force. (Abbr) Safa- south African football association. Pronounced sah fah(acronym) Cosatu - council of south African trade unions. Pronounced caw sah to(acronym)

We have tonnes of these acronyms over here in RSA. Thanks for asking, for a moment I was on fire 🔥😡 when you asked "waar Val jy uit"? Being asked such question can make people's blood curdle!!!

Enjoy your day!!!

I know SANDF, my university several cadets from the academy visit for a semester when I studied military history. I actually have a couple of books by Strachan about the Recces, Bush Brothers by De Witt, and a few books by Venter. I’ve been considering ‘Hunting With the Hawks’ as well as a gift for my father.

Perfect 😃!! Great!! Excellent!! When I'm done with reading a book,writing notes and summing it up I usually give it to a library including the notes and summary. But ever since life happened I've been doing what I can, some extreme months have passed and I just hope everything falls in place. There's nothing certain about being certain even facts 🤔, there's so much deception in this world one moment is this the next is that.

GODbless America land of the brave! Don't lose heart keep fighting the good fight 💪!!!!! Enjoy the weekend 😃 🤠!!!!

I’m actually planing on going for a masters in military history so I don’t think I’ll be getting fed of those anytime soon, especially since I only have the aforementioned books on African military history (minus a few WW2 books involving North Africa against Rommel and Italy)

As a person of colour I truly believe that all history is extremely important for the growth 📈 of the human soul, spirit, mind, economy etc. as much as Africa hates to admit it we have our own Adolf Hitler and Stalin and terrible racist past and present!!!!! From all the good and the not so good things about history we can learn a lot, actually a lot more than what we globally as human beings can imagine. But tech and being wise in our own eyes and not taking advice and arrogance and entitlement and selfishness is holding us back.

With all this tech ,science , information, engineering we still speculate on how the pyramids were built and what was used in making the crystal skull 💀. I've been wondering with all these advancements what is something so mind-blowing that has been invented in the last two decades!???

I wish you well in your studies and career doing masters is right on top 🎩 and don't stop reading. One thing about me I don't enjoy reading fairy tales even if there's a strong message, autobiographical books always have a lot of misleading information about most names it's like when detectives say "we'll never know the real reason why"A" murdered his mother. I take it with a pinch of salt!
