A brilliant contribution by @Policy_Exchange Without the SAS the Troubles would likely never have been brought to an end They served in uniquely difficult circumstances - and now vexatious litigation is dragging them before the courts This damages morale, recruitment and effectiveness - it compromises our safety and it must be dealt with

That's why the hard left wants to destroy it. Just look at the history of communism and the way they target the military. They often picked out the outstanding heroes and systematically destroyed them through show trials. Likewise, they promoted the weak and those they could control.

No it was the CID forensics department of the RUC that hurt PIRA so much they didn’t know who was going to be arrested next

They murdered two innocent brothers driving past another incident. You Sir are a fuc*ing scumbag. Supporting SAS terrorists - that’s exactly what they are.

They exacerbated and prolonged the troubles just like the parachute regiment did. Stop talking absolute shite
'Bloody Sunday' had a devastating effect on the course of the 'Troubles' in Northern Ireland. It formed a catalyst, effectively ending the non-violent civil rights campaign, and increasing recruitment to the IRA. In his report Lord Saville reaffirms this: "What happened on Bloody Sunday strengthened the Provisional IRA, increased nationalist resentment and hostility towards the Army and exacerbated the violent conflict of the years that followed.

The army are not heavily armed police. Their culture cannot be the same. They are trained to kill.

They left their Afghan SAS colleagues behind in Afghanistan when they left in a hurry lest they testify to their war crimes whilst saving the Afghan people from themselves. In Ireland , if they haven’t murdered anyone, they should not fear facing the courts.

The SAS and the IRA had the same Modus operandi. They should be treated the same as every combatant during the conflict. Right!
