    Too true Slap. Just forgot myself for a second, and I should have responded in a way befitting your comment.

    ...but me like Small Wars. Small Wars easy. Small Wars cheap and manageable if approached with a thimble full of common sense. Me no like Big Wars. Big Wars decisive. Big Wars no time for learning. Big Wars very serious. Me like Small Wars.

    ...and I might put that on a T-shirt just for me!

    Default Slap, I know, I know...

    I suffered a temporary serious attack...

    So let's get back to threads.

    We could really throw off the uninitiated if we avoid reference to SWJ and go with:

    The Kitakidogo Social Club

    We might even need a snazzy logo/coat of arms like emblem to be embroidered on the breast of the inevitable polo shirt!

    Agree, Big Wars are Big Problems that we don't need.

    However a coat of arms on a polo-shirt ain't half bad got a picture?

    Default I'm just the idea guy...

    I leave the real work to others!

    Using my infinite Power Point skills I think I could come up with something rather dignified.

    Crossed Masai lion spears and shields? Or Zulu shield, assegai, and knobkerrie?
    or maybe Shaka?

    Default I'm not sure that walking around in a King Shaka T-Shirt

    ....will always convey the message we intend in a sophisticated, politically correct, polite society

    Which, for some of us, is a lot of the fun.

    Default Tom's now got me a thinking...

    and a ruminating. While Zenp's idea of a full blown Shaka would be cool it might scare the natives.

    But crossed knobkerries and iklwa behind a Zulu type shield with an appropriate design on the shield face might be pretty cool and not too hard to create.

    We could perhaps create SWJ iNtanga (although Ken would probably be in one all by himself!) or better yet SWJ regional ibutho.

    We have something like five generations of military experience on this site. Perhaps the shirt should make reference to that.

    Not any where near iNtanga strength -- but old age and treachery...
