whilst serving in N Ireland. Its was before the 'infamous' speech. He has a presence about him. He wasnt rude or aloof but you could sense there was something "extra" in his locker.
His resignation started a catalyst of resignations throughout the Services, not directly, but people agreed with his comments. It was a wake up call.
Great speech to his lads, who have since been disbanded due to return to 'normality' in N Ireland.
