The young ones, with guns and bullets

Reading Ronnie Kasrils biography I notice how he speaks with glee about weapons training in the former Societ Union: how he scored high on marksmanship and from the first moment he picked up a machine gun tore up his targets. His biography - which he dedicated to Mom and Dad with the memory of the days when they joined the Congress of Democrats is full of action. Pictures of Ronnie show the scar on his face where the bullet shot by a would be killer grazed him.
