You do? When a lot of those WW1 Irish soldiers returned to Ireland they were shunned, even buy their families, for siding with the British... if you want to talk about inconvenient truths.
I have always thought what happened in 1916 was a bloody travesty for the Irish people, and a shameful episode in British history, but it seems that be even talking about this is upsetting you and Niamh so... that's me done.
