I found the encyclopedia very useful and, surprisingly, factually very correct. There is also an absence of emotional opinions in the presentation of the [historical] facts -- something that you don't always find in South Africa these days.

What about the commando system, hasn´t that been at least until recently and maybe some part still part of the South African National Defence Forces, as a reserve or something like that? Do they not have any kind or reserve system? Vammlaus (talk) 14:35, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
