So yet another retired soldier to be prosecuted over Northern Ireland, what is it with our government? okay there was a lot of atrocities committed  by both sides but if you are going to prosecute one side then you have to do the same to the other side not grant them pardons, it seems that one ex soldier is being charged concerning the shooting of a 15 yr old boy, I had a friend who did 3 tours of duty in Northern Ireland he had to go into hiding due to the fact he was being hunted by the I.R.A, he used to say how terrible it was out there, the problems they had was not so much with the men, but with the women and kids some as young as 6-7 who used throw not only bricks etc at the soldiers but also dog and human excrement and buckets of urine thrown over them plus all the verbal abuse and yet they were not allowed to retaliate, some of the older kids i.e. were even given guns and told to shoot at the troops, but again if they shot back they would be charged unless they could prove it was kids that shot at them, considering they used to hide behind the younger kids and women it was difficult to prove, I wonder how many of our troops could stand this type of fighting today?
