  1. Over 300,000 British soldiers were sent to #NorthernIreland during 25 years of #TheTroubles.

    Those troops killed 315 people. The overwhelming majority were Catholic civilians including women, 2 priests, and over 60 children. But only a handful of #BritishArmy prosecutions took place. Few were convicted, and many of those were released early.
