From the comments of the OP, warning immense racism
Which part are you referring to exactly? The world did view apartheid in that manner, no argument there. History says these men were on the wrong side. Although the military and political landscape is quite vast. Let's for argument's sake say what one person's experience was true, that he farmed in Namibia for the SADF in attempts to win hearts and minds, did his mandatory service automatically make him a racist? Surely not. As long as targets were military most of the time and in line with the greater goals of keeping communist states disorganized and supporting indigenous resistance, it would be quite hard to label military motives as racist.

Also feel free to brigade that shithole subreddit as much as you want. I think I’m still banned for being anti NATO.

This shit drives me fucking insane. I got an ancestry test done and I have like 30-40ish percent indigenous heritage (and it fucking visibly shows, like with a lot of Latin American descent) and then you have white as snow people talking about how their great great great grandfathers cousins 2nd wife boned some guy who was like two generations removed from a half indigenous person so therefore I can be racist.
The worst parts is I've heard people say this all the time, it's not even a meme.
