    Always remember Dutch Holland submitting a photo for the battalion photo competition, of him sitting on top of a mountain, wearing his beret looking down onto Forkhill base. And the RSM gave him a bunch of extras for not wearing his helmet, 😅😅😅😅😅

We infested your pathetic so-called army with so many agents you couldn't operate any longer. SO tell me, how was it you won the war. And by the way, isn't it ironic that the head of the PIRA murder squad's name was Fred too. 🤣🤣

    Interesting seeing these foreign soldiers operating on Irish soil in South Armagh and forcefully occupying the native Irish land,they must be glad the good Friday agreement has been signed with alot of these british army bases now closed down and saving the british taxpayers millions of pounds. Now for the border referendum in about 5 to 10 years, probably better in 10 years after next census in 2021 as the 2011 census showed a difference of only 58,332 more Protestants than Catholics about 3% more of population so a really tiny difference, its persuasion now,vote Sinn Féin for a United Ireland. 27/11/2014.
