Just finished watching this history lesson where fellow country people butchered each other on the streets, my brother and my brother in law both done tours of NI in the mid 80's I was just a kid in my early teens and would often see and hear my mother getting upset but not really understanding, what a mental situation to be in I can sympathise with both arguments but those killings were brutal and horrific, what a way to live your life! |  |

Tremendous series and we’ll balanced too.
I’ve worked with many ex squaddies and they were solid to a man.
Horrific environment and we let them down,like cowards . |  |

UK troops were put in an impossible position.
This was always a police matter.
Dealing with the public and publuc order.
Once the GFA allowed the troop withdrawals then everything has relatively calmed down. Thank God.
Keeping them deployed would have meant many more deaths.
It would have been a mistake of historic proportions. |  |

The troops were withdrawn because the IRA could not longer get volunteers to fight. The Army knew most of their terrorist plans and the IRA muppets could survive a battle with elite soldiers. | |
