I can watch this it reminds me of my family having to leave our home in 1973 from the Shankill road to 7 miles away. Tearing apart our lives. Never got over it and I'm 60 now. Remember waving to the soldiers in their jeeps.
May God Bless these servicemen who did not choose to kill people, they were used by politicians on both sides. Also bless those innocents caught up too. May God rest in peace all those who perished, regardless of sides, religion or patriotism. I adored the last post at the end, thank you for sharing Robert Kitson, cheers.
Oh too true, as soon as partition was introduced the loyalists wasted the native Irish out, and burned out Catholic homes. I am a Catholic and my family were republicans, I do not hate the Protestant people, I hate what the British have done there, divide and conquer just like India and Pakistan. Where ever the British have been they divided and conquered and the loyalist people need to realise they were no more than pawns in the game of Britain chess game. British don’t care about loyalism they would sell them out at any chance they would get.
14, living in W Belfast, the bottom fell out of my world, childhood peace went, we had to learn what bombs and guns really meant, when the shots were ringing out we were so glad the army was protecting us, ever tried to sleep caught in the middle of a sniper's battle with the army just behind us
The look on the officers' faces, as the locals from both sides talk to them, as if they are silently uttering," You lot are petty, obstinate, bloody minded fools. We have better things to do than come here and babysit you. Bugger off."
Does that include "Bloody Sunday" in Derry,does it also include the "Ballymurphy 7",does it also include the children shot dead by plastic bullets? Does it include Aiden McAnesppie shot whilst going to play football..The Squaddies were in the North to prop up the protestant state. If your going to comment then get it right..
hahaha do you feel sorry for all the people they set up,double crossed and killed...with zilch respect,support or trust-except from their loyalist druggie pals
@@bluechip297 A small number were. The same way a small number of Gardai were loyal to the IRA and had the two top RUC men in Northern Ireland killed on their way back from a Dublin meeting. Both sides were at it. Stop being a victim you're not a child anymore waaaah
Why do the brass always sound like they were born with a silver spoon in their hole. No soldiers from up north or “common” areas allowed to advance in the ranks?
British soldiers why put up with it, you have better things to do, just leave, let the Irish people sort it out, Catholics and Prods just need to meet at local pub and get drunk together, soldiers should have left Ireland in the early days.
Karma is very intricate. The Irish would do well to examine what they did to deserve such Good Karma and Bad Karma collectively instead of just blaming those outside themselves. Just like you would say the British deserve to have the third world invading the UK now.... They deserve it, so that is because of Karma. So the Irish got what they got because of Karma. That's how that works. Otherwise you are just an atheist with no sense of reaping what you sow.
@@karlmeyer9473 Ulster Loyalists think they brought IRA to table it was going that way away from what I read Irish Republicans weren't threatened by Ulster Loyalists but Ulster Loyalists feel threatened by Irish Republicans.
jesus...little brat playing with soldiers helmet , then young girl playing with the headset , SLR resting up against the wall , and I thought no way , then the next moment ….shiiiit!!!!!
@sean header Look mate - you can't strip a GPMG down in the pitch dark, let alone fire it - wind your neck in, you're talking to a proper soldier, not a terrorist or mercenary...
When I see this now I just have to laugh. Who was to know it would go on for 38 years. There was no reasoning with bigots. You will never win an argument with stupidity. 😊 I would end up accumulating a little over 11 years in the Provence.
@@productiondunne only one side agreed to surrender its arms, the other side left when that was completed , in their own time, under no pressure and can return at any time if other side kicks off again. That's not winning.
@@snowflakemelter1172 Why Sinn Féin in Northern Ireland government that huge compromise by British Government they said wouldn't deal with terrorist's well we all know they are hypocrites now.
