    Surround your enemy so they can't escape, use hit and run tactics until they run out of ammunition......the rest is a historic victory over the British for the Zulu Nation and Powerful King! Shaka Zulu!

    Shaka is said to have introduced new military tactics that transformed the Zulu military. He replaced the long spear with a broad stabbing blade called the assagai. He replaced the narrow shield with a broader cowhide shield. He also introduced the buffalo military formation. The formation was shaped like the horn of a buffalo - the tip of the horn was occupied by fast young soldiers, and the centre area was occupied by experienced hardy soldiers. The ends of the horn would encircle the enemy and the central core of hardened soldiers would move forward into the fight. Indunas who were outside the formation directed the fighting via hand signals.

    In our war, the issue is not only tactics and strategies— but the willingness of our men to fight.

    I don't think it's about the willingness of men to fight that's the issue. The issue is who are they sacrificing & fighting for if men with integrity are not celebrated by their own community. The black community doesn't value attributes that sustain a healthy ecosystem.

    For example, black women are drawn to drug dealers and thugs etc rather than doctors and lawyers. They look down upon them because they're "boring" and don't have the flash or swag but most thugs & rappers are not staying when you get pregnant. If a child's foundation is weak, he will crumble when he/she has to face the world.

    Bottom line, black people celebrate nonsense and this is not isolated to the States.

    Believe it or not some of these tactics are used in big business as well as military planning today.......we have enough men willing and waiting the time will come. Sometimes it's not numbers or even how well armed you sometimes it's will. We already know that everyone won't make it or will commit to what needs to be done. Enough of us have and are willing......the movie 300 made the Spartans famous (our children probably know more about King Leonidas)we hardly hear about how Shaka Zulu defeated the most powerful military on the planet at the time or how the Viet Cong were able to hold off the powerful US military it's because the will of those fighting and never giving in or giving up. The resolve and will of the People will see us through in my opinion. But ONLY if we plan and prepare accordingly of we don't then check mate.

    I learned Shaka's bullhorn formation from the Bore that drew it in the dirt in 1964 I was 11 years old ZULU I learned how to make a bulletproof vest in 1964 from a fist full of dollars I learned how to put gasoline in a light bulb use plastic explosives from the mechanic I learned not to rely on anyone because no help is coming live off the land and the be respectful of the natives The Spook That sat By the Door. went in the US ARMY ADA 151st 2D Koriea cold weather training SP/recon -demolition most of the real soldiers are dead ( Black Vietnam Veterans) and nobody has taught on a mass scale BP how to fight. Muhammad Ali was supposed to be a role model you be surprised how many killings go on in his hometown right now 2 PAC has these Thugs murders cut throths criminals 304s cracks heads thinking there Queens and it is alright to behave like animals lets see what going to happen after the Montgomery Alabama battle because Trump's people are not playing.
    Here is a book to read if there are any youngsters that have guts: BLOODS Black Veterans of the Vietnam War: An oral history. Also, pick up SAS 3rd edition survival handbook. "Viva"Niger
