Ronald Reagan says 'sorry' to Margaret Thatcher in private phone call

Well of course then after the invasion about May-August 1984. 2nd AD (FWD) in Garlstedt started to get the 82nd Airborne Infantry troops via PCS (I was there and remember it). Some of them stated it was a cluster-puck of an operation but not all of them said that. It depended on what their view was and their participation level. Back in those days there was not a lot of follow-up with the troops after the war as there is now. It was assumed if they made it through the conflict breathing, then they were OK. Though I have say among the PCS Soldiers we got, none of them had any issues I could see or detect, they were all well adjusted after the conflict.

SPC Erich Guenther - I'll say this - I was there. In some aspects it was a cluster for a number of reasons, and in others it wasn't.
Some of the CF stories are true and others are not. Some of the CF items were let us just say stupid actions by Joe.

I never understood the whole UK vs IRA civil war. Especially the religious aspect to it.

SPC Erich Guenther - I have friends in Ireland and Ive been there many times. It is sad when its ver religion but that is what many wars have been over including our current ones. I was over there two years ago with my brother and we were in Northern Ireland at a British Royal Legion Hall, similar to out American Legion. We were talking with the commander of the post and he was a retired police officer as are my brother and I. He said you boys can run around your country fashing your badges and no worries, I do that here and I could get killed. While things are much better, there are still issues.
