executive outcomes
I came across this badge and was quite suprised, I never knew they were so professional. I'm sure there's a lot of guys on the forum that would disagree..

Hi Iain, I have seen numerous Executive Outcomes badges. They had different badges for all sections, like artillery, infantry, special forces, admin, the whole lot. Regards Andrew

Hi Guys,
maybe I used the wrong word when I said about professionalism; maybe I should rather have said that I was impressed. It's the first time I've come across one of their badges Andrew which was what impressed me. I did see an excellent documentary about them many years ago. Also I remember the Angola incident where they took on Frelimo and the cubans, against all odds, but were eventually overwhelmed. Corporal "Callan" (?) was executed and the British goverment did nothing. It was OK for the cubans to be there but not EO. I do know they were an elite outfit, mercenaries are usually the best of the best and usually the Special forces from various countries, guys that have it in their blood. Dave, I'll look out for that book thanks. regards, Iain

You have no doubt seen this type of EO badge and apparently widely faked in S.A. Some of mine(too shiny for my liking) Cheers Dave
