I don't recall the U.S. ever fighting South Africa other than in this one Larry Bond book.

Now we know how he received the wounds to his back.  It's a shame the family had to fight for a year to get the truth.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,121216,00.html

"He was executed — shot twice in the back," Guard spokesman Maj. Arnold Strong said in a telephone interview Thursday. "An Iraqi ambulance driver witnessed six Fedayeen rebels standing outside a building guarding him while he was still alive. That same witness evacuated his dead body to a hospital."

Defense investigators confirmed the account by matching Walters' DNA to blood splatter on the wall where he was executed, Strong said. He died from two gunshot wounds to the back, fired from more than 20 feet away, according to Strong's account of the investigation findings.

What a stupid thing to say.  Actually the Boers smartly fought the most powerful Army in the world to a standstill.  Until the time that the Brits Implemented a scorched earth policy and began to burn farm houses, detaining the Boer women and children in the first ever concentration camps.  The example set by the Boer is now textbook proceedure when fighting a more powerful but less mobile force.
