My advice to anyone interested in this is to read a few books.Read about the British Army,Taliban,IRA,UVF,Irish/British history,WW1/WW2,Vietnam etc.etc.Dont just rely on a tabloid newspaper or few minutes in a news bulletin to get your opinions.Watch some documentaries.Believe it or not youl be better able to form a balanced opinion.
