Clearly some still can't accept if a "peace keeping force" walks the streets over here they should be setting an example.
Another couple of army bases will be closing down shortly, so we should see the situation improve.

Come on Keith, I saw a lack of British army discipline and behaviour at first hand many times on the streets of Ulster and you know it went on.

It was always the same old story when a new regiment came in to do their tour of duty.They got a list of names of locals into their heads and we couldn't have drove to the corner shop without getting the car ripped apart and asked the same silly questions over and over. Clearly it was simply a policy of "hassle the natives".

It wasn't very nice of them, considering they were only a "peace keeping force" I doubt few here would of liked it.
