I appreciate we are mostly military here and naturally our loyalties lie with our colleagues, but a little perspective and accuracy please.

But they weren't all unarmed were they?
None of ones who were unlawfully killed were carrying arms. None of them posed a threat and several of them were shot whilst fleeing. One was shot whilst assisting the wounded and waving a white handkerchief.

Let's not let loyalty blind us to facts.

or this arrest to take place more than five years after the Saville Inquiry reported on its twelve years of deliberation indicates to me that there is some murkier political agenda here.
Nope. Politics has zero to do with this. The police and the CPS decide on prosecutions, if it takes a long time to gather evidence so be it.

Justice has no expiry date...read that right here on pprune.
