Billy would be a great recruiter for the military, so calm, intelligent and articulated.

@peterstubbs5934 9 ай бұрын

His initial thoughts were EXACTLY like mine. I joined Junior Para in Sept 72 in Malta barracks Aldershot. Totally unprepared for what was to come, didnt have a clue. Outside the Gd Room as we were being processed, a Squad of P Company blokes (Regular non Para soldiers that had passed their initial training in different Regiments and wanted to have a crack at being Para) came running past us in the direction of the Tank Tracks. (I didnt know WTF P coy was by the way). One poor sod was at the back really struggling and being dragged along by two fellow P company students encouraging him on. I remember saying to John Maher who was also a new JPC recruit like me (I will NEVER be like that man at the back.). Actually, I never was BUT, I was only snotty like that because i didnt realise just what was coming to me and just how hard it was to be. I soon learned to STFU and get on with things. My training officer and NCO`s ended up being GOD` in our eyes. Less than half of us went on to pass out and joined a battalion. I completed 22 yrs man sevice in Para Regt. SAS never appealed to me, probably couldnt have done it anyway, plus I was having too much of a great times with the lads and the pubs were always open. Respect to the Hereford lads.

Totally respect to these SAS guys, I know no where near to it but nearest i got was when i was in 10 para, the recruitment right from start to finish with our company was tough , didnt realise till after only about 5% probably less from our company made it, although we were under a right hard guy from 3 para Johnny weaks, he weeded out the crap , and although just a reserve really felt i earned my red beret and wings the hard way over a year in total to pass. many of our guys went to serve in conflicts with regular units

Former TA( Para) unit based in London. Along with 4 and 15 ( Scottish ) Para. Disbanded late 90’s and amalgamated with the 4th. Most were ex regular from Para, Guards, RRF, RMs . Good unit. Very fit and professional with good capability. A regular officer friend of mine in a line regiment came on an exercise once with 4 Coy and said the tempo was above and beyond a regular line unit . And he was ex SF !

What I like about interviews with these guys in the SAS, I can see they have a clear respect for life* and an understanding of people. Their humanity is clear as is their focus, they dont even come off as the ruthless type though theyve proven they could be just that should the need arise. I wish all these guys well, wish the late John McAleese was still alive.

I've wanted to join the military since I was young but I was rejected because of a disability. If people gave it their all and couldn't make it, then I'll respect that. But if any guys just give up half way through training, then it's just a spit in the face to the thousands of applicants like me who will never even be given a chance to try because of circumstances out of my control.

'I was in Northern Ireland, they were cowards' It's like large amounts of British people prefered to construct 'make-believe' narratives about 'the troubles' in Northern Ireland rather than actually win the war! And all these decades later so many still believe stuff like 'the IRA were cowards' According to Michael Gove, (considered one of the more intelligent Conservative MPs, the 1998 good friday agreement, was a surrender to the IRA.) According to Peter Hitchens, one of a minority of journalists with the capacity to think for himself, the British state 'surrendered to the IRA.' So if the British surrendered to 'cowards' then what does that make the British????

@Ytwhna 13 күн бұрын

Considering Northern Ireland is still part of the UK and the IRA doesn’t exist, I’m not sure the UK surrendered. By the early 90s, the IRA was limited to a dozen guys in south Armagh and they were finished once they caught the sniper team.

@aor3220 12 күн бұрын

@@Ytwhna do you understand these matters better than Michael Gove or Peter Hitchens?? Are you saying that? Your second comment about 'reduced to just s.armagh, after they got the snipers s.armagh was not a major problem anymore' is disconnected from reality. Yet again another british person has proven my point. You are repeating propaganda and constructing narratives that suit rather than looking at the evidence. The war in N.Ireland ended in 1998 with the Good friday agreement. I am a nationalist and i read unionist newspapers on occassion to see what they are saying. A man wrote a letter to the belfast newsletter saying the Good friday agreement was designed to create a united ireland. He is a unionist saying that and his assessment is entirely correct. Do you understand these matters better than the typical n.irish unionist also.?
