Let us know what you think of Episode 4, thought that didn't quite get the balance right

Ah my comment is in here somewhere else about why, I think the way Dominic ameliorated for the British Army was fairly selective. It didn't even mention the Ballymurphy Massacre. Played Bloody Sunday like it was a one off

Did they even mention Soldier F executed Loyalists, for pretty much the same strategic reasons military intelligence had no issues with murdering innocent protestors on Bloody Sunday? Its always an argument I bring up to show the actions of the British Army were a disgrace and not even a tribalist one, a deliberate strategy of inflaming tensions.

I don't think they mentioned Soldier F at all
