Sorry but if it was the other way around, the IRA never gave their victims a chance in survival or surrendering . Including innocent women children. You live by the sword well you die by the sword.
We had the same shoot to kill policy as the IRA had when it came to them killing our soldiers, they didn't like it when we started using their tactics on them
It was PIRA propaganda... through & through... shoot to kill was obviously used by the PIRA for recruitment... any volunteers who joined the Provo's were well aware of all the consequences involved... prison or death... there's no secret or story to be told here...
@@caolanlee1992 I said that the PIRA used shoot to kill as propaganda for recruitment & it worked point i made was that all Volunteers who became members of the Provo's knew & were fully aware of their fate as a result of joining prison or death so how could they legitimately make a shoot to kill claim my comment was removed...
If memory serves me well, the SAS ambush came about because the IRA had a tout in its ranks who passed on information regarding the car and occupants. The bodies of the three were identified by dental records due to being burnt down to the bone.
Leaders of both the main faiths calling for restraint and more violence was not the solution. Paisley on the other hand, war, war, war. He may have had his road to Damascus moment towards the end of his political career, not wanting his legacy to be that of agitation and hatred, but he was responsible for a lot of the deaths throughout the troubles with his rhetoric.
If the IRA men were shot dead in the Cavalier as it drove into the village and crashed and burned then how did the balaclava end up in the middle of the road? Obviously one of the men got out of the car and legged it then the SAS shot him dead and dragged his body back to the burning car. Total cover up!
@starryian007that must have been some throw. Watch the news footage again and tell me how that is physically possible. The balaclava is way beyond the path that the Cavalier took if we are to believe that.
@starryian007 so when you say they knew they were spotted. That’s very doubtful. The SAS or SBS who ambushed them are not going to let themselves be spotted before firing are they?
The UK is supossed to uphold the rule of law, the IRA unit had been under surveillance for some time, they could have been aprehended without bloodshed in the days leading up to the ambush. To be fair to the SAS they could only deal with the problem in front of them, and a court found as much but the senior security services knew, Thatcher wanted an example.
Think we can all agree that when the SAS are on a ambush, there's not going to be much left of you to bury.
Big boys games, big boys rules...
Well done fellas
SAS should have been given carte blanche to wipe them all out.
Agreed 100%...
absolutely
Masonboyne@ They were by Margaret Thatcher, but the Americans intervened, and she backed down.
They tried and failed to do so, a couple of SAS also got killed in that period such as Captain Herbert Westmacott
@@edwardgriffin3922no they didn’t
They were very restrained tbh
The IRA grassed themselves into submission 🤡

If the Ira were terrorists because of their shoot to kill policy, would that not make British forces the same ?

@@caolanlee1992 No
IRA were illegal, the SAS were a legal government organisation , thats a war crime what the SAS did weather you like it or not
What a result that day
Look at Glennane the weekend before 3 soldiers dead 19 injured some seriously
When the sas was involved the ira always got put underground.

Tragic when service men loose their lives leave behind wives young children a waste of human life.
Hopefully they survived long enough before getting crispy

Do you think the IRA men wouldn't have shot their intended victims in the back if they were running away ?
I will answer it for you , Yes they would

Why does England insist on keeping Northern Ireland?
Because most people in Northern Ireland want to stay in the uk. Once that changes…
It’s not England you muppet.
It's Britain not England they're not the same nor are they interchangeable

They where going too kill an uncle of mine that morning
Aye. 😂
And nearly killed a niece of mine. Both her and the family had to sell the farm and move to Omagh. I believe your Uncle also had to move home.
If you shoot, you intend to kill. Hit the target.
Goes for both sides
