    Sorry Natch.
    The British government sent the SAS in,thinking they would 'rule' the (rebellious) county of Armagh.

    It didn't happen <ok>

    A .50 cal anti vehicle/infantry sniper rifle plus a few crackshots who know the area intrically = a scary proposition for any soldier, no matter how well equipped

    Natch.

    They thought they could infiltrate the locals,that didn't work.They then thought they could bully the locals,that didn't work.........................


    In other words, they were ****ed.Then a 'local' started picking them off.....In other words,**** off SAS <ok>

    Your admiration for Iran and Palestine is admirable but it seems when violence is committed against others you have no such problems, in fact you seem to revel in the horror of it.

    i respectfully disagree.

    i am not saying anyone could get in, i do however believe that all the training in the world doesnt = balls

    imo the reason the likes of the sas and seals (bit general here i know) have the reputations they do basically boils down to hardware/technology etc
    there is no doubt that with the wealth/backup etc they are quite impressive

    take that away and the picture changes.

    Are you sure you are sober? Do you know anything about selection for the SAS?

    Google is everyone's friiend so you are either:

    A: Drunk
    B: Ignorant
    C: At the wind up

    Either way i'm not interested in explaining.

    Oh and Nairac's intentions were so admirable. My god man, he knew the risks, he blew his own cover.
