I,m an ex para did many tours including Fermanagh. Survived numerous incidences whilst in the province and if that wasn’t enough survived the bombing on our barracks in Tern Hill. This was a war in all respects.
10:48 A mortar attack alarm for a mortar attack against the soldiers presence. If I don't wish to get splashed at a puddle I stay away from the puddle. It was so easy to save so many soldiers lives. I think a lot of really bad politicians and leaders made this event escalate. RIP to those who died.
"I don't regard myself as being in a foreign country, I'm in the united kingdom implementing the law...." Yeah, fook off, doesn't even believe it himeslf.
Growing up i wanted to join the Army, but Mum said she didn't want me to go to Northern Ireland, so that and a number of other factors caused me to join the RAF, where was my last tour? Aldergrove, the RIC(NI) to be exact. I had a great 2.5 year tour, lots of great experiences, both off and on duty, mixing with all sorts and if me mum knew what i got up to at times she'd kill me.
At approximately 22:30 the interviewer asked if the Cpl should have given a warning before opening fire, technically yes but that is only because we tried to play by the rules, personally I think that if you can identify a person as a threat to you or anyone in your vicinity then you should just open fire, and in this case the answer was they were definitely a threat. Why should the British military be constrained by rules when the enemy aren’t, they only care about one thing, killing us.
Like when you opened fire on civilians at a civil rights march?.Brit army started this when done it...IRA was defunct since 1916.... majority not politically minded at all just looking revenge....sad but true
After the soco’s had done their stuff, I was tasked by the CSM to go to Queen Street RUC station with my section and clean out the landrovers from the Crocus St attack. It was the worst thing I have ever done in my whole life. My lads refused to do it, so I did it myself. I’m 64 now and that day haunts me still. They should have got another unit to do do it…..
Yeah I was down there that time and had RMP, s attached on the pvcp, s. Remember one called Poulton I think a good lad. Did all of the pvcp, s on the border and the watch towers in South Armagh in 86.
Provos? Their now antifa and they spend their time attacking actual patriots fighting for their rights against mass immigration in the next plantation of Ireland.
@@gw2891 dunno I'm mates with some of them and good lads.. its the government not doing their job not vetting people....like in scene in scarface...us cop goes that fucker Castro is shitting all over us
The laughter of our children? It'll be the laughter of islam dominating Ireland but the stupid shinners will say 'Brits out but blacks and browns are as Irish as we are'.
@irbfenian2594 you are typical of the dumbed down shinner that no longer thinks Ireland is the Irish homeland. I bet you're waving your palestinian flag even though muslims hate you and are here to conquer. You remember that when they're ruling Ireland.
Save your Irish writing, whatever it means. As long as the majority of Citizens of Northern Ireland chose to remain part of the UK, you will not consign them to be part of Ireland against their will. 🇬🇧 Rule Britannia
1975, 1976 and 1977 - Long time ago but just yesterday for me. RGJ in Dungannon (1975) thoght they looked scruffy when we relieved them...just inter regimental banter really. Respect due and given from XIX of foot.
When Maj Daniell claims that the UK army is not a foreign power he is the reason why they promote of have people like him leading the privates who know they are foreigners in a strange land. To be a British Major I think requires one to be book smart and care about the little things yet can't see the big picture. Otherwise they would see what that war was, a foreign army shaking down citizens who live with a history of being treated like serfs by British foreign lords. Then add on the British army defending a British state like Northern Ireland, which antagonized the minority Catholic community within their boarders and you get the troubles. The Major either can't see it or won't accept it and it comes with the cost of tax payer's money and destruction.
You scum shot plenty of innocent people here, murdered 14 innocents in Derry, 10 in Ballymurphy to name just 2 incidents and got away with it, you were and are all foreigners here, now we look forward to getting our country whole again!
@@lorddaver5729 where in my comment did i say any of that? Thats the problem with people like yourself, make shite up that i never spoke about, innocent people were killed from all sides only difference is, the british army got away with it!
@@lorddaver5729 im not here to defend the actions of the IRA, there wouldnt have been no IRA if there was no British in ireland and when IRA people were caught they spent years in jail, British soldiers got away with murdering innocent people, fact!
Did 6 Months there in Clougher, not long after this. Got Mortared not long after we got there. As we were Royal Irish Rangers we were treated decently most of the time by the locals. Had plenty of tea stops and the odd full breakfast in the odd farmhouse. 12, of us in the multiple, muddy boots etc. The people were good to us.
Pointless killings ,IRA murdered for over 30 years to loose their war ,NI still part of Britain 🇬🇧 👏 bombings killed innocent women and children to achieve nothing
