A video of the minutes silence [video=youtube;vGmm5KJbMBw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGmm5KJbMBw[/video]
It's to contrast against the smelly taigs who would quite happily shoot the brave British troops in the back and piss on their corpses.
Not all taigs think like you Micky, funny enough a few actually serve along side them and are proude to fight for queen and country
what for betraying the selic way? I take it you are not self employed? If your employer tells you to do something that you never agreed on, would you do it? probably not, and you would walk out your job Troops don't have that right, if they refuse to obey an order, they are looking at spending time in a military prison, only to come out and being court marshaled at the end I feel your anger is aimed at the wrong people, I seen in an earthier article you blamed the British government, for what can I ask? I would love to see where this hatred for the British army comes from
I was on the wind up. But as much as I've grown up to become quite moderate with most other aspects of life I still hold a lot of bitterness towards the British army. I think it mostly boils down to negative experiences growing up - it was quite clear even from I was a small kid that they were our enemy and we were theirs - and we treated each other as such. Have no doubt when me and all the other kids I knew were playing with plastic guns we used to pretend that we were shooting the Brits on behalf of Ireland. As I got older I wasn't slow to find a brick to chuck at the passing convoys and they were not slow to spit on me, call me a fenian **** and the likes. I even got shot once in the arse with a plastic bullet, one of the ****s spat on me from the top of a passing jeep and I immediately grabbed a brick and tried to chuck it at him but ended up hitting his mate instead - they pulled the plastic bullet gun out, i seen it and went to do a runner and got hit right on the arse. Couldn't sit on my left cheek for a week. Apart from this I seen my mother getting dragged by her hair off a road for picketing an orange march up our street. I was one of many who used to get picked off the street, pulled into jeeps and battered for telling them to go **** themselves when they asked us who we were and what we were doing. I could go on and tell you dozens of individual stories of the mutual dislike between me, my friends and the army - or even worse I could tell you all the experiences that my parents had.
Na its alright mick, I get the jist, you where bullied by the soldiers, because you refused to lie down to them. but have you ever thought that some of those troops might have lost friends in an IRA bombing or a car bomb? as for getting shot with a plastic bullet did you not think you deserved it after lobbing a brick at them?
It's you Forest Gump was based on, wasn't it Mick? "And where did you get shot son" "I got shot on the buttocks, Sir" "Run, Mick, run"
