socks 32,253 Posted November 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Working with an old squaddie atm and he's telling me a few stories about Northern Ireland. I guess getting a phone call that two blokes are waiting outside for you with AK-47's and having a bomb put on your car tops it all.... He must have been off his rocker because when he left the army he stayed there with his missus that he met and got a job as a postman. I guess the Nationalists' knew who he was.... I would suggest he likes to tell a few stories ......He was in the army over 20 years, who am i to doubt him....You don't believe it then? He is talking shit mate ... any soldier that supposedly had two guys waiting outside with ak47's or a Bomb under his car would be out of Northern Ireland in a military second .... when you do a residential tour of NI you don't just live in a normal house on a normal street you live in a guarded military estate ...... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You didn't make that clear ... anyway ... if it was after then he is still talking shit as they rarely miss their intended target once let alone twice and they wouldn't have been waiting outside for him they would have been in through the door and shot him where he sat .......

DogFox123 1,379 Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Yeah I should have worded it better tbh. I was in disbelief tbh but I know for a fact he was in the army over there from the late 60's. He must have some imagination to make it all up as I try my best to catch him out.

Born Hunter 17,842 Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Got to agree, it didn't read like that dogfox. The way I read it he was over there on tour and mixing it with the locals. Only one outfit I can think of that did that and be surprised if they talk of it much. Now you've clarified it makes a bit more sense. Link to post Share on other sites
