@Whi79226Anthony @rtenews So no criticism is allowed from them, none he regards shithole countries. Sure why dont you just ignore any international code of conduct? That's worked so well in the past.BTW Aleister Crowley is an odd bedfellow but in this context not unexpected

Troops decided for themselves to abandon armour. Troops stationed at Derry were found to have buried their armour and Carew was deploying 'light troops' in Munster. Soldiers (& M'joy) realised it was speed (& tactical flexibility it allowed) that would save their skins, not steel

@Whi79226Anthony @rtenews That would mean there would be no criticism. That's a great deal right there

An insidious myth that perseveres is that Ireland left lights on to guide German bombers. Absolute crap. Others say Irish should have blacked out lights as Germans could use them, but to do so, despite being non-belligerent would have cost hundreds if not thousands of lives

@Whi79226Anthony @rtenews So no former axis countries can comment. The US certainly doesn't have the moral high ground unless you've missed the last half-century. Britain can't, France can't. Who meets this high standard of moral rectitude?
