As in all Movies it has to sell to the Audience i.e.
Michael Collins
1 No Car Bombs in 1916-1922
2 Ned Broy was not killed (he was 3rd Commissioner of An Garda Siochana)
I was talking to one of the men from Jadotville and he said it was pretty accurate except for i.e.
1. Quinlan was not shot
2. Chopper was not knocked down with 84 Recoilless Rifle
3. Quinlan decked Kane (two Kerrymen)
4. Reidy (Billy) was the 1st man shot but he did not fall from a chopper
Films need to sell but the main point is those men were vindicated & in MY OPINION Comdt Pat Quinlan for nothing else deserves an MMG for keeping all 155+ men alive under savage enemy fire with no help from the UN. The Comdt deserves the medal posthumously & I doubt anyone of the soldiers still alive would resent the MMG been awarded to him.
Lesser people deserving have received DSM's
Maybe we should start a petition547002_518435234843067_1771956249_n.jpg
