"A Day in the Life of the British Para 1967 - 74"

If this site still had a "Thank-you" button, I'd use it now. Apart from showing the unenviable position the British soldier found himself in, it demonstrates beyond argument that the Irish are factional, and no one faction can live with another: one Irishman against another. It also shows how they blame the English for what they are doing to themselves.

I hear what you’re saying.

I feel a little churlish asking this, but do you still advocate more military action against the Irish, until CIRA is destroyed (and UVF too)?

You have made the same point as I have been trying to make, but you have done it much more succintly.
