    Sorry it was the Malaysian Emergency, not Myanmar. Among other crimes

    Between April 1955 and March 1958 the squadron was re-equipped with de Havilland Venoms and mounted 115 strike missions, which fell into two categories – 'Firedogs' (pre-planned bombing, strafing, and rocket attacks against suspected guerrilla targets) and 'Smash Hits' (immediate on-call strikes against opportunity targets in response to a guerilla raid or 'hot' information).

    They did a bunch of "anti-guerilla" patrols previously as well, essentially pillaging villages as per usual. Only 3 NZs died from enemies in all this. Australia was more involved and far more criminal, but essentially the Commonwealth's Vietnam was Indochina yes, but moreso Malaysia

    Brits and their "scholarly" scum still talk about it as a success with some blemishes, further proof that the whole commonwealth must be destroyed :ukkk:
