        @SteeniePhoto why shoot a body if your thought it was dead? I don't get it. It was a war, but there are rules of engagement.

        @BBCBreaking One "achievement" is that up to 453 British soldiers died as terrorists (cf s40 Terrorism Act 2000). A waste of life.

        @BBCBreaking fruitless task I think. Achieved nothing. Except lost lives and heartache for bereaved families.
