Re: Pensioner Soldier charged with Murder in Ireland.

Folk give the IRA some kind of legitimacy when all I remember from my times over there in the 80s was a gang of thugs , organised crime , protection rackets , prostitution and robberies in the name of a free Ireland they dressed it up as a fight for their country , a religious war even when at street level it was anything but and that’s why peace was so long in coming as many were making a handsome living on the back of it

Yes, traditionally I suppose it was allowable (if not commendable) for heavily-armed and well-trained (well, supposedly!) troopers to shoot innocent civilians dead whilst the latter were conducting a peaceful protest.

But, hey - that's colonialism!

And - what the hell! - they were only Irish, right?

Re: Pensioner Soldier charged with Murder in Ireland.

In fact, I am tended to believe that you are not aged over 50 at all. Because anyone of our age would not make such a highly disgusting statement as you have. I believe you are probably a sad little teenager or in your early twenties, a billy-no-mates who gets off on goading us on this forum because you get no respect on the younger open forums, no doubt being written off as a right plank that no-one takes notice of.

It's no wonder when you come out with such vile comments.

Re: Pensioner Soldier charged with Murder in Ireland.

They do things differently in the US,

War crimes investigators working for the International Criminal Court (ICC) will be barred from entering America if they probe the actions of the country's soldiers in Afghanistan and other locations, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said
Suggesting they would not be granted visas, he said: "We are determined to protect the American and allied military and civilian personnel from living in fear of unjust prosecution for actions taken to defend our great nation."

Good for the Yanks, and yes Maggie would have stood up for the military. This country is a bloody joke these days.

Re: Pensioner Soldier charged with Murder in Ireland.

In the uk we do things differently and the government actually give legal aid to anyone wishing to bring a claim against soldiers past or present whilst obviously burying anything to implicate past PM’s and ministers of anything for 50 years
