The British Army

[ireland2004]

I thought this thread had been buried owing to its stupidness. (And yes, I did mean 'stupidness'!)

It's all stupid when a member of the British army does something or indeed is it stupid also that Peter McBride was gunned down by British soldiers who had just searched him. However when the IRA do something everyone has something to say.

Oh, for God's sake! What the hell are you sh*ting on about!?

Justin made an inane argument, phrased it badly, rambled a bit during his initial post, and has utterly failed to defend his 'position' (whatever that may be) against any of the reasoned arguments a number of us have posted. He made a silly statement, which has been thoroughly dismissed, and now he's run away.

If someone had made such a ridiculous attack at Sinn Féin, then I would treat them in exactly the same way (but that there are more of you guys, and so you'd probably get there quicker). But in this case, it was one of your boys who started a stupid thread, so this time, I'm attacking this one.

Ok? Now, you really should see someone about that chip on your shoulder. It could cause permanent damage.

oh dear oh dear, very moody tonight thebear.

For one, I have not shouted about anything.

Secondly, you dismissed this thread as "stupidness", the same thread where I brought up the killing of Peter McBride (whos killers are still in the British Army). I assumed you regarded that as "stupidness" as well which prompted my response.

As for a chip on my shoulder

Ok, firstly, I didn't say 'shouting', sweetheart. (see, I'm trying to be pleasant again)

Your point about McBride, while perhaps an important issue which needs to be addressed, is completely irrelevant to the issue which Justin seemed to be raising in his original post. He was talking about PTSD, what he views as the insufficient treatment of it in the BA, and the effects this has on society. If you want to join a free-for-all against the Brits, I'd suggest the Cornelius Coughlan thread, or perhaps anything in the Northern Ireland forum.
