Quoted:

"We are no longer going to be part of the security forces; we are going to be part of the community."
~Nicholas Parker, lieutenant general in the British army, on its withdrawal from Northern Ireland after a 38-year mission.

Thoughts?

And I'm sure the community will be as welcoming of them as they were of the community. Too bad they tore down Long Kesh...

Actually, I'm more worried about MI5 and their complex.

I'm sorry I missed this for this long. =(

I wasn't aware the blog was still going!

Anyway, my thoughts are the British Army can not be part of any community other than the tourist community. It would be like allowing Chinese troops to build forts, and take residence in them in say, Philadelphia.
