yes my teachers brother was a police officer funnily enough right across the street from their family home on the border and one night the ira launched expolosives from a transit van and it blew half the police station to shit, leaving half of his body permanently scarred from burning and shrapnelMy grandmother's brother served in Ireland at the height of the Troubles to support his family and while she's never told me a lot of what he said she did tell me he wasn't really the same when he came back and that he'd seen some pretty horrific things over there.
The one story I do have is that at one point the IRA set a bomb off trying to catch the next patrol out that morning (which happened to be his) but it went off too early and took out a bunch of people on their way to work and stuff and they were the first ones there and apparently it was horrific. He'd have nightmares and shit even when he came home for a long time.
my teachers seen some shit
