| |
| − | ::Soon after arriving in Belfast I received a beating at the hands of UNK 180. He was an
| |
| − | individual who lived in a world that I cannot comprehend. He had all the positive
| |
| − | attributes of a para. He was a very efficient soldier, and by reputation an excellent shot
| |
| − | and a top recruit. However, he was totally lacking in the attributes usually associated
| |
| − | with a normal human being. On a day off with a colleague, he took a sub-machine gun
| |
| − | from the barracks and attempted to rob a Post Office in Belfast (it was not difficult to get
| |
| − | weapons out of barracks if you wanted to). He was given 5 years and, during his trial, he
| |
| − | threatened to kill the prosecuting officer. He was dishonorably discharged and later
| |
| − | became a notorious mercenary.<ref>[http://report.bloody-sunday-inquiry.org/evidence/B/B1546.pdf Soldier 027 evidence], Bloody Sunday Inquiry.</ref>
