So I know a handful of people who do various work in places in Africa, I have never heard about a fantastic place to go visit in Africa.

I know a couple real old timers who did Safari's back in the 70s and they said it was the best hunting of their life, but still not sure they had anything great to say about Africa itself. The food they ate was what they brought with them and what they shot that day. They slept in tents and trucks, they crapped outside. I think it was just the experience of living off the land and hunting big shit that can kill you that was the attraction.

I think Haiti would probably be the second worst area to work based upon what people who have been here and there have told me.

I think the best "conflict" deployment I ever heard of was Thailand. I didn't even know we had a recent conflict in Thailand but I know some guys who got sent there to handle whatever the hell was going on. They absolutely loved it.

My brother was there during a revolution, he was working with a Team. My brother said they had a murder an hour for 24 straight hours.
Not like a murder we have, these were machete attacks, brutal, bloody and effective.

Sounds about like everything I've heard.

East Africa isn't so bad. Kenya, Tanzania are alright. Some of the SF and MARSOC guys like Angola, I haven't been there. But draw a curved line from Somalia, up to Ethiopia, Sudan, Chad, Niger, Mali. Horrible.

Haiti is awful. Thailand is one of the best places on earth.

Haiti, by like a lot. Africa, at least Djibouti and Tanzania were miles and miles better in every possible way. I'm sure there are areas of the Dark Continent that would rival Haiti, but by God's grace, I never had the misfortune to deploy there.
