hi…. Since the 50´s all the world saw a bunch of “guerrilha” war´s ( Vietnam; British colonys; Algeria etc )so what was the most effective counter-“guerrilha” war in the world?
I´m from Portugal so there will be some guys ~that are gone say: ” Is from portugal! Is defending is country bla bla bla” .. I don´t give a sh******** !
I realy think that the Portuguese Colonial war was the most effective! We in 13 years of war lost 8863 soldiers… ( que deus vos tenha em paz, bravos soldados ) and our resources were low ( the US put on has a arms embargo – when NIXON arrives at the White House all “changed” – ( CIA ) …. we used T-6, Fiat´s G-91 and F-84 among others to serve in Africa and our helicopters force was formed by Allouetes III and PUMAS … I realy think that the portuguese fougth well! Finely in 25 April 1974 the army ovetrown the fascist goverment! VIVA A LIBERDADE!
Best regards
Richa , Portugal
