What you say is true, BOAC, but I would caution against stone throwing from inside our particular greenhouse. Bomber Command is only now about to get the National Memorial that its contribution to victory, at such dreadful cost over the very same Fascists, called for in the 1940's never mind the 2010's. And that mainly thanks to a dying musician rather than a grateful national leadership! BC's commander was slighted, both in life and death, and his aircrew got just the same campaign medal after D-Day as those in the rear Army echelons. On the whole that anti Bomber Campaign bias was top down, rather than the reverse. I would suggest that, in defence of the Irish population, much the same applied in their case.
