CAR fight an "Inspiration"

How do you know his IQ at all? His IQ could be 120 for all you know. Or is that another racially biased dig at someone? ;)

You should be careful what add to headlines intel, especially when it's unrelated to the article...

Remember he's a "journalist" :twisted:
 
How is IQ measured as a percentage anyway?

The gunfight in the Central African Republic that killed 12 South African soldiers has inspired more youngsters to join the army, said secretary of defence Dr Sam Gulube yesterday.

Youngsters as in under or over 18?
 
Ok Lets leave the esteemed DR's IQ out of the equation. What do you think about what he said?
PS: Comments of other ANC supporters are welcomed :D

It seems like a pretty baseless comment to make seeing as he couldn't back it up wit the numbers. And I agree with the DA MP, there SHOULD be a another comprehensive defence review.

Now coming back to your IQ theory, what number does 75% represent?

You do also know that labeling somebody an ANC-supporter(as a dismissive label) when they are not one is exactly the same insult as someone calling someone a racist, correct?

You just seem to be lying continiously Intel. You lack the basic understanding of simple things required by a reporter, so I can't see you have studied ANYTHING to get any job. Also, if you are REALLY from overseas, i can't believe you are from a european country, not with how bad your grammar is and with how obsessed you are with the ANC

Seems somebody doesn't understand how IQ's work... which is extremely ironic...
 
We suffered severe losses and lost, the enemy suffered unknown losses and won. How could that possibly be an inspiration? This is going to be just like the ANC war stories in Angola. The goal was to cross the river, the ANC couldn't cross the river. The ANC suffered casualties, the SANDF suffered none. The ANC to this day calls this skirmish a victory...

+1

To me this is more of a spin story to try and show how the killing of these unfortunate soldiers lead to something (such as inspiring a nation). I call BS on the "youths are inspired thing"

Because of our high unemployment rate, those 12 dead soldiers was like an advert for 12 jobs in SANDF...
 
IMO, due to job losses desperate people are willing to put their lives at risk to put food on the table. This has nothing to do with the dreadful things that happened in CAR.
