Peter-Cheshire Regiment:
Today I feel sorry for the Catholic community, although not for the terrorists. They have to put up with the RUC, the army, the Prods and their own organisations ruling their lives. It's time people let them be in control of their own lives; they deserve it after all this time. I feel strongly about them, it's as though I should repay them somehow for being a bastard whilst I was over there. I'd like to help them get back on their feet, rebuild trust in their community. I'm not brainwashed now. Despite all that the PIRA and INLA did to me out there (and it's a lot) I'd like to speak out for the Catholic community. Having lived amongst them, I feel I have had a privileged insight into their lives. They are not all anti-British or PIRA supporters, many just wish for a peaceful life. Many people in Britain are used to seeing dramatic headlines about Northern Ireland, but I knew it was 99% peaceful and 1% trouble.
I feel hatred for the 'sticky bun' [Protestant] community. Our company was once tasked to watch over a bridge near the Mary Peters' Track in Belfast so that the Prods could march over. On the day they came across one guy called us every name under the sun. We had only guarded the bridge all night so that the IRA didn't blow it, and them, sky high. These bastards caused it all in my eyes. They took all the best jobs and housing and provoked the Catholics into action. They seduced the army with sex, drink and sticky buns. They are a disgrace. As for Paisley, I put him on a par with Hitler, Stalin, Idi Amin and Saddam Hussein. I honestly would love to see him and [Peter] Robinson [deputy leader of the DUP] out of the way, dead. It's terrible that I feel this way. If the Prods hadn't been greedy I wouldn't have had to get involved, I wouldn't have lost my mates, I would not have had to go to a shrink and a therapist to make me human, I wouldn't have suffered pain and illness and I wouldn't be angry. I'd love to be normal and not react to cracks, bangs and people making me jump. I spent a lot of time walking backwards on the streets and now I can't stand people coming up behind me; if they do they're fair game. I call my hands 'bastards' because I hit people without warning.
If you look at the IRA in a professional sense, then you have to admit that they are exceptional. I see them like the resistance against the Germans in the Second World War. If they were in the British Army they would be in the special services. Some of the paramilitaries in PIRA and other organisations are real psychos though. The people of Ireland deserve better than these bastards. What right do they have to say what you should do, who you should marry, where you can live. Why should people have to live by their rules? Why should they kill, beat or kneecap people who don't follow them? It will take brave people to get rid of them, but I know one day it will happen and I hope I'm alive to see it. Both communities know these bastards and eventually they will stand up to them and make them know they will not tolerate them. They are pathetic; they are not protectors of their communities. They are bullies and parasites. They think that they have authority and respect but they are elitists. I think that they are insecure, sheepish, silly and could be pitied for feeling the need to kill, maim and torture innocent people. In later life they will regret it, just as I regret things I did whilst in the army. Once the situation sorts itself out, I wonder whether they too will need help to adjust to the ways of a normal society.
