I feel truly sorry for those genuinely innocent who were involved; on both 'sides'.
However it's easy for even me, a civilian with slight military connections, to imagine a frightened young squaddie letting off a few warning rounds, next minute his mates think the worst and join in...
Let us not forget the torture the IRA were fond of, not to mention placing powerful bombs among civilians on both sides of the Irish Sea.
As for the troops' equipment, remember that was 1972.
That minute's silence today should be for truly ALL losses.
