Doud is a war veteran who served the Rhodesian army from 1969 to 1980 during the Rhodesian Bush War also called the Zimbabwe War of Liberation. The Rhodesian administration and Army represented the white minority who fought against native leaders, among them Robert Mugabe, who opposed foreign rule.
When talking about the old days over a beer Doud says, "We should have finished the job when we had the chance. Zimbabwe would be in a better place if we had done so.” Today, Doud runs a small fruit farm near Mutare.
