@@junkersbestmate9196 yeah.. quite shocking innocent Catholics forgot about cuz they were killed by their own...but glorify the same people who.murdered them...🤯💔💣🤮
I was 10yrs old when this happened. It was so sad They were murdered by the IRA and left like carbage on side of road. They were so young. I remember ppl leaving flowers were they were found. Really heartbreaking.
The one of the problems with the troubles was the people opinions didn’t change. The army was deployed in 69/70 and a few years later the army was hated because of Bloody Sunday, falls curfew and Demetrius, that was before 1975. 15 years later in 1990, the people who served, the procedures, the equipment and the motives behind the operation were different but the opinions hadn’t changed. We were still hated. It’s one of those things about time, half way through Op Banner was 1988 but people’s perception is that by then it was almost over. The army changed, the people didn’t, certainly not their opinions.
The youngest was 16 he lied about his age to join the army my gran lived beside them and her husband was there best friends he was supposed to be with them that night
🌞VETERAN ROYAL SCOTS..AGE, WAS P PUT UP TOO 18 FOR NORTHEN ISLAND.. BUT MANY 17 YEARS OLDS WENT TO THE * FALKLANDS AND AFFGHANISTAN , IRAQ ECT. MANY DIED OVER THERE AT 17YEARS..
Killed by one of their own - a former British soldier from the Parachute Regiment. Of course this would be hard to prove definitively now for the suspect is dead but the evidence does seem to be quite damning. This former British soldier told former PIRA comrades how these 3 Scottish soldiers were killed. The same former British soldier was also a main suspect in the Kingsmill Massacre and he was known to the British security services. So it looks like he will just be another british soldier who evades justice and gets away with murder.
Sad reality is many people have got away with murder in this wee country. Many have got away with things that would not have been tolerated any where else.. but the machine let it rage and destroyed so many lives. This regiment saved the life of my mum and me and will be forever grateful. They also had to protect children going to school in protestant area as it was constantly under attack in interface. Anyone who made tea or spoke to the soldiers; some were tarred and feathered, some had to leave the country and start a new life in other parts of the UK. This was mainly IRA targeting women within their own community's. Something else brushed under the carpet. They will never be forgotten and some folk just can't handle that. The fact that the IRA killed more of their OWN people kinda gets ignored. Done with all the bullshit, hatred and crimes still being committed against the innocents.
@@chelbythesea8424 that one statement always amazes me - "the IRA killed more of their own people" - I can never understand the relevance of it. If an innocent man, woman or child is murdered, should it matter who killed them or what religion they are? The IRA murdered hundreds of innocent people, just as the loyalists did, the religion of the innocent victim should not matter. Loyalists killed more members of loyalist groups (94) than they did republican paramilitaries (41) - is that relevant.
@@arthurgoodness7865 relevant to what...i am not saying a catholic life is of any less value than a protestant the thread is about 3 Scottish soldiers...I.love the majority of.people in this country, because this is my home and we are a pretty amazing bunch... regardless of their religion. I am well aware of both sides of the story and the untold truth...
Why were they in Ireland in the first place? There are no Irish soldiers walking around Scotland. They were not in their own country and that carries a risk.
George Buller from my knowledge they were sent in to stop the riots and crisis between Catholics and Protestants and Catholics opinions on the British soldiers changed

Wearing a uniform does not make killing legal. etc. Just because the Government says it is ok to put a uniform on and invade a country ,( their own) to kill people does not make it legal/ Murder is still murder/ If stupid people join the forces and then suffer with PTSD., as many do Then they should not have joined in the first place.
