Thank you! And I noticed that, it was an interesting thing to say. He was probably distinguishing this ambush from “regular” military operations. Michael Collins was criticized by some republican politicians for using irregular warfare, I think de Valera and some of his colleagues were trying to get him to fight regular battles. Maybe he just said murder in stead of insurgency?
Good video, well researched. The interviewee used the phrase "commit murder," but is this the correct term to use when enemy combatants are killed?
