Off course it wasn't worth it not one life is , but the Irish people in the North had no choice but fight against what was happening to them in their own country. The blame is with the British state for all wars in Ireland 🇮🇪.
It brought World attention to the genocide British occupation had in the North of Ireland. It made us more proficient killers. We lacked empathy, emotion when we gunned and bombed who represented British rule on my Island. I would do it all over again.
Respect for what, starving themselves for nothing. They are all forgot about now, nobody remembers them for anything except murdering terrorists. Child killers.
@DML1888 And you know for fact that Loyalists only pumped iron and took drugs??? Maybe, just maybe like me they got degrees in politics, irish language and a few other subjects as well. It will never be a "free" Ireland. Economically wise the South could never afford to take over the North.
facts only reason you got help from spain and france in the war 1776 if not the usa would have lost ,800 years the brits have been in Ireland way before the usa was born the riches of india at the same time was more appealing to the brits than a bunch of colonies 1812 was a british victory they kicked the yanks out of Canada and burnt Washington dc to the ground and the white house truth hurts you I see ha ha

I'm English so my opinion means fuck all on the situation in the North. But I can sort of understand Brendan Hughes comments. People died or dedicated their lives to fighting for a united Ireland, they never fought for a peace deal. Obviously I don't agree with the violence and atrocities committed by any party in this conflict and I think the GFA was brilliant. But it's easy for me to say, I never had to live in either community. ✌️
How can Adams make that comment when he said Sinn Fein will not accept their doings,it's their choice as individuals,"Sinn Fein will not support their acts"
@Gar Army paper says IRA not defeated Army concedes for first time it did not win the battle against the IRA An internal British army document examining 37 years of deployment in Northern Ireland contains the claim by one expert that it failed to defeat the IRA. The admission is contained in a discussion document released by the Ministry of Defence after a request under the Freedom of Information Act. The 100 page document analyses in detail the army's role over 37 years. It focuses on specific operations and gives an overview of its performance. The six-month study, covering the period 1968-2005, was prepared under the direction of the then chief of general staff, General Sir Mike Jackson.
@Gar Not quite as straightforward as you suggest …. "Although when the retiring Oatley passed on the mantle to an MI5 officer, he had the support of the MI5 Co-ordinator of Intelligence in Northern Ireland, John Deverell, the process faced near-collapse following the death of Deverell in a helicopter crash. MI5 Director-General Stella Rimington was a hardliner who briefed Prime Minister John Major that McGuinness and Adams were IRA members and could not be trusted. *Privately, senior MI6 officers accused their MI5 counterparts of being 'a bunch of idiots' whose efforts had sabotaged the process*."
@Gar A quote from Stella Rimington's (head of MI5) book 'Open Secret' …" Her own assessment of the effect of investigating terrorists is revealing: above all, she writes, it helped foster 'a new style of MI5 officer, quite different from those who had been around when I first entered the service. The modern version was younger, travelled regularly, spoke foreign languages... the new breed was comfortable in Whitehall, sitting on committees and discussing issues with ministers.' *Suave, non-sexist, good at presentation. But not very effective at preventing murderous atrocities*.
Adams has fooled so many people for so many years and continues to do so. Look , folks at the end of the day he's (Adams) is still standing! He got to live his life while burying so many others. He claims his hands are clean but, are they?

Ex-UDA kingpin Johnny Adair believes the IRA were the most effective “guerrilla army” of all time and admitted he wouldn’t have the courage of the Hunger Strikers.
Convicted terror chief Adair (60) has also fondly remembered narrowly escaping jail with his nipples intact after a prison officer attempted to remove his jewellery with a hacksaw.
Speaking to career criminal and anti-Islam hate preacher Tommy Robinson on his podcast, Adair was full of praise for his deadly enemies of the past and revealed he would have refused to go on hunger strike for his cause.
Robinson says: “I’ve seen the IRA described as the best guerrilla warfare army there has ever been”, to which Adair says: “And they were, that’s a fact and I’m not scared to say that, I’ll not tell a lie, of course they were.
“Their bombmaking technology was a step ahead of the British Army, the army tried to keep ahead of them and the IRA was always in front.

Ex-UDA kingpin Johnny Adair believes the IRA were the most effective “guerrilla army” of all time and admitted he wouldn’t have the courage of the Hunger Strikers.
Convicted terror chief Adair (60) has also fondly remembered narrowly escaping jail with his nipples intact after a prison officer attempted to remove his jewellery with a hacksaw.
Speaking to career criminal and anti-Islam hate preacher Tommy Robinson on his podcast, Adair was full of praise for his deadly enemies of the past and revealed he would have refused to go on hunger strike for his cause.
