Dunedan, whilst I consider myself a Nationalist, I don't know why you refer to Northern Ireland as "occupied" and use proper noun spelling for the term.
The fact remains that the majority of the people there don't want to be reunited with Ireland just yet. And Northern Ireland exists due to a treaty signed by the Irish Free State; furthermore it was ratified by Dail and it was also confirmed by the Border Commission.
It's not really occupied at all; not in the military sense.
BTW, I agree with you about the SAS and the Paras. They don't have a great reputation in Ireland.
