"Since most of our conscious modes of conceptualizing, acting and moving about are conditioned in part by our language, to use the language of another culture is to use that culture's ideas; and to use another culture's ideas in place of one's own is to relegate the latter to a position of de facto inferiority."
-sbAt Rkhty Amen

Very interesting. Just read the first paragraph and immediate thoughts are there had to be a system, maybe even underground, to have the Angolan fighting be this effective for him. There had to be a cultural retention that he was exposed to.
