Sorry - but I don't get the point of your comments about how long he served. He couldn't serve any longer could he - as doing his job nearly killed him and cost him his legs and therefore his career! In those days Ireland was pretty much today's Iraq/Afghanistan - it was equally as dangerous, as Steve is testimony to! Being in the army directly affected his whole life and shaped Steve into the man he is today - no escaping that!
