Okay, I'll give in, wain should be wean meaning children. I only had the lyrics to make speculations about, - I did never hear Billy Connolly talking, so I did not hear him talking about this song; - I don't know anything about the recruiting campaigns of the British armies; - I did not know when the song was written; - I do know about the IRA to hide behind children but thought my own explanation with the fighting vehicles more likely. As I was told by AndyG and Mick Lowe there are many hints (especially the author of the song saying so) that this song is about a soldier fighting the IRA which I did not see (as my knowlede is limited (see above)), I'll accept it.
