Absolute codswollop, Keith. You are trying to sentimentalise your army's role. And your justice system, I might add.. Internationally, your army is seen as the collection of scum that it is, and always was, and our aim was to expedite your withdrawal.
They who win a guerilla war, are they who remain standing on their own turf afterwards, and in that instance we definitely win hands down.

You obviously do not remember Internment, the Diplock Courts.
Or the 'Supergrasses'

Nobody was safe from prosecution and imprisonment.

And don't try to tell me that McCartney's own family do not know the circumstances in which he was killed, because if the 'dogs on the street' know, they also do.
Did it ever occur to you to try and cut through the hype and the bullshit, to get at the real story... or do you not have that kind of inquiring and discerning mind?

I will remind you that McCartney killing notwithstanding, Sinn Féin still increased their vote, or are you suggesting that there was mass intimidation and vote-rigging on the part of Sinn Féin, as they pistol whipped everybody to the Polling Station?

Get real, Keith.
You seem like an intelligent man, but you spend too much time being graphically daft.

If the odd Brit was shot in the back, it wasn't because he was on his way out of the country.
The amount of bulldozers they drove through our houses, the amount of families that were needlessy persecuted.
Every last Brit and cop that was killed in the North of Ireland deserved every bullet they got, whether it be from the front, back, side, or above.

Our Volunteers done us proud, at the very least, Keith.

The British Army are and always have been the scum of the earth, with absolutely no redeeming qualities about them whatsoever.

That was and still is my experience, and no amount of 'in defence of the Army' will ever wipe away what those bastards did to me and my people.
