Which IRA? Micheal Collin's IRA? The Post Irish Free State IRA or the Provos? Lots of groups have claimed the mantle of the IRA? It goes back to the Fenians in hte 1870's according to some.

As opposed to the jihadi Taliban scum AMERICAN tax dollars funded in the mid 80s? Which was about the same time we were supplying weapons to our good friends in Iran and intelligence to Saddam? Which was about the same time we were funding Salvadoran death squads.... Context is somewhat important. The taliban didn't exist in the 80s. Communism was the greater threats |

The Battalion was also implicated in the killing of "some 50 civilians on the banks of the Guaslinga river".[4] Human Rights Watch linked Atlacatl to additional massacres not cited in the UNTC report: dozens killed in Tenancingo and Copapayo in 1983, 68 in Los Llanitos, and three separate killings in 1989" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlacatl_Battalion You can believe the Truth Commission report or not but most observers agree that the American trained and funded Atlacatl Battallion murdered hundreds of their countrymen including men, women and children.

And who were they fighting? Probably folks who were supported by the "freedom loving peoples" that made the rifles in this photograph. Looks like the 2 most common weapons in that conflict were AKMs and M16A1s, used by both sides. The full-fledged civil war lasted for more than 12 years and saw extreme violence from both sides. It also included the deliberate terrorizing and targeting of civilians by death squads, recruitment of child soldiers and other violations of human rights, mostly by the military. An unknown number of people disappeared during the conflict, and the UN reports that more than 75,000 were killed. The United States contributed to the conflict by providing large amounts of military aid to the government of El Salvador during the Carter and Reagan administrations. |

This 110% Realize that when you're white and don't like the Brits and you're located in Ireland you're sort of limited to who you can be allied with. So who hates the Brits and the west? Those whacky Soviets and their sympathizers and those whacky dictators in the middle East but Lybia in Africa was quite sympathetic for various reasons. The only other supporters are Irish heritage folks in the US who can be convinced that sending money and guns to fight for Irish independence is a good idea. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Depends on which IRA you are talking about. The Provos killed less than 2,000 between their founding in 1969 and their disarmament in 1997, 1,100 of those were soldiers or security personnel. They killed less than 700 civilians, many of whom were associated with militias, the government etc...not exactly "blameless" in the whole affair. That hardly makes them blood thirsty terrorists who murdered civilians at every opportunity. If that were actually the case, the body count is pretty damn small, it doesn't compute....
