'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

Contrast that with patrol the Royal Irish lost to the West Side boys in Sierra Leone.And they were loaded for bear!!
Plenty of books written on both incidents.Might be worth reading them."Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

Killer of Irish soldiers 'released early' in Lebanon (rte.ie)
Yet again Lebanon demonstrating it couldn't give a toss. Expect the same nonsense for the recent murder of Irish Soldiers.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.
