What a half truth, biased comment which suggests to an uneducated person on the matter a random flippant turn on the "peacekeepers" with zero effort to explain why this was.
Why don't you continue and give the reasons for the complete distrust and failure of the British Army as peace keepers. Yes, they were welcomed in as protection against the Police and Loyalists but turned out to be just as murderous. Why don't you mention the shooting dead of civilians? And I'm referring to BEFORE as well as Bloody Sunday.
Maybe if the peacekeepers, you know ... kept the peace, instead of shooting and the people they are supposed to protect there might be more trust.
Apologies for going OT but had to be responded to.
