The Green Leader Theme by John Edmund - Legendary Operation Gatling Raid by Rhodesian Forces on Communist HQ

Another great song about the Rhodesian Bush War!

This song commemorates Operation Gatling - a risky venture to take out Communist Terrorist headquarters deep in Zambia. Rhodesian Air Force, SAS, and RLI struck mainly the base at Westlands Farms, while also striking secondary bases at Chikumbi and Mkushi.

It was a stunning victory. Thousands of Marxist-supported ZIPRA terrorists killed, many others scattered, injured and captured. The cost was one dead, three injured, and a helicopter.

This song has the radio call out by Green Leader (Chris Dixon)

Cheers!

Lyrics:

These are the thoughts
That run through the sky warriors mind
He is a man
A very special kind
Our wings
Are a fortress to our land
Today
A special missions' planned
Dear land
Today I'll serve thee well
My motherland
Has gone through hell
No one in the world to heed her
Tomorrow the world will know Green Leader
Fight anywhere
And everywhere
Speed
And courage and a prayer
Seek and strike
Strike from above
Do it for
The ones you love
And as our sections now deploy
A minute to run
Seek and destroy
Swift to support
Men and machines
Aspire to
Achieve our dreams
This is what God would have willed
Kill
Or see the children killed
My little country cries for peace
No one will hear
Her case at least
No one in the world to heed her
Tomorrow the world will know Green Leader
No one in the world to heed her
Tomorrow the world will know Green Leader
