British soldier describes the technique of using children as human shields in Ireland

Again with the whataboutery, anyway there's barely any difference in how many children were killed by the IRA and how many were killed by the British army, there's a difference of about ten or so and the Brits killed far more children 12 or under than the IRA did, and bare in mind none of those figures factor in collusion with loyalists.

You won't find the IRA targetting a child as blatantly and brutally as this.

Although Tom Barry and the rest of the boys in the old IRA used to burn down protestant orphanages, imagine those lunatics in the 1920s with semtex explosives?

Well they were teenagers 15 years old not exactly children, but I agree they shouldn't have went ahead with it knowing there were two teens on board.

The british army also murdered many teenagers and children like the 12 year old girl I linked an article to above, they shot her multiple times in the back then dragged her around like a piece of meat and threw her head first into a helicopter.

Do you think the British army also targeted children or is it just the IRA?

[Mod removed], forget his war record he is also long suspected to be linked to the VIP paedophile ring at the Kincora boys home, he was a war mongering paedophile nothing more nothing less.

MOD NOTE: The removed comment falls outside the guidelines of the History forum, as it promotes violence.

Here come the war mongering right wing British sympathiser apologists clutching at straws trying to justify this on the basis that they were scared.

What planet are you living on? He clearly wasn't merely mentioning that they were safe when standing next to children, he clearly states in the video they would intentionally do it as much as possible because they knew the IRA wouldn't attack them if children were close by, there's an American ABC documentary which also clearly states they would always try to cross roads with children and move alongside them.

The video is there for anyone to see, they can make their own minds up and I very much doubt most people will come to the conclusion you came to.

Well that's your opinion, I would guess most people in Ireland wouldn't agree with that behaviour, and yes I don't think Loyalists or Republicans ever used human shields and it certainly wasn't common practice.

Well this is the history forum?

May as well leave it here for people to read and let them make their own mind up if this was justifiable and moral.
