Brave brave men and heroes these men were. It was a PR disaster for them, drawing condemnation across the world including the Pope and Jimmy Carter.

I would suggest if you are going to spend every waking minute on here defending SF you might actually read up on them, and not from the SF website. Just an idea.

I find your description of that as a "good operation" to be one of the most nauseating and disgusting things I have read on this site.

markodaly wrote: » Seeing that one of them was his grandson I dare say he did care... What we do know without a shadow of a doubt that the IRA killed two young teenagers and an 83 old woman, along with an old man. We know that the IRA never cared for the victim of their actions, be they old ladies or young boys as young as 3.
