    Howard, 'government sponsored' is hardly a sensible term to use.

    It is an unfortunate fact that most if not all military campaigns have examples of groups of soldiers 'running amok'. If you want a historic Irish example look at the seige of Drodegha where Cromwell's troops massacred over 3000 after the town had surrendered.

    Whenever you get groups of young heavily armed men running on testosterone and fear there will be occasions when training breaks down.

    I suggest that none of the soldiers set out that morning with the intention of killing innocent civilians, which would seem to have been the modus operandi of the IRA.
