I am not having a pop here at the British army, if it was the army of any other country I would be as vocal. Yes it did bring back memories. As to what we did in Ireland, we faced the courts, prison and loyalist death squads working from information provided by the British forces for our actions. As GUEST has rightly pointed out, this is a government backed force we seen here in action. Attacks such as these on young men result in them seeking revenge, and add to the ranks of those the British and American forces are there to deal with. Believe me.
