Re: Irish americans
I used the term freedom fighters as thats what we call them for short.
It is ironic that they are called the ulster freedom fighters and i have been puzzled many times before as to what freedom there is.
Growing up in a place like belfast was not easy.
If you did anything wrong you would have faced being beaten by masked men or at worse being shot in the kneecaps and the elbows if you were extra naughty. It was a tough area and it still happens but thankfully we dont have bombs going of eveyday now.
I hope for peace and i hope the future generations wont have to even see the paramilitaries. I dont think it will happen in my time.
