Dev wore a raspberry beret The kind that you find in a second hand store A raspberry beret And if it was warm he wouldnt wear much more......
Chuck was "Colonel in Chief" you thick chap. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonel-in-Chief As for the 1000s of murders? Any stats to back that up Hoops? No, I thought not.
Were you in the fearsome 2 Para? I mean id be embarrassed to call myself a para if i was in a lesser regiment
I don't want to get dragged into this but Chuck WAS Commander-in-Chief of the paras at the time (I know Hooper said still is - he still is CIC of 10 regiments). Relatives of the murdered wrote to him to ask him to condemn the actions of individual paras that day - they received a letter from his private secretary telling them that it was "necessary to move on, rather than dwell on past tragedies".
CiC would imply he had some sort of control or was resposible for deployment, training etc, nothing could be further from the truth thank God. As for his Secretary's letter I suspect he was right regarding (moving on) as it was 40 years ago and Chuck was neither responsible nor accountable.
The man's an arse of the first water but as much as i'd like to pin the blame on him it just aint the case.
