No you're point is valid. The IRA events weren't exactly a war, as far as I know there weren't exactly a load of firefights. Mostly just bombs goin' off.

But to be fair, I reckon some soldiers were hurt trying to disarm explosives and such, whilst on active duty. That's just my speculation though.

Anyway yeah, I don't know what happened to Steve exactly, but you're right he's not neccesarily a war hero. He's a guy who was in the military and was badly wounded by a bomb.

But errr... you know a fella' who served with him, so what was he actually just on the way back from the pub on a Saturday night and you know this? Or did you just make that up?
