  why did it take 38 years for the truth to come out?....and cost nearly £200million
  
  My late brother was in Ireland on that day with his regiment and a colleague of mine was in the paras (not sure he was on the scene..) I obviously can't comment but both of them said ,having never met,and on different occasions,that during that period tensions were very high and the army were suffering losses from snipers. I suppose its easy for us to sit and judge 38 years later in the calm of our own homes but these were young laads fighting on what they considered to be home soil in a 'war' that nobody really wanted.
  
  The British Army have committed unspeakable acts throughout their long history but whether we should now bring to court those soldiers to face a trial......I 'm not so sure...wish I had the answers.
  
  Lets hope we learn from this terrible incident and ensure it never happens again.
