    Go to an Irish pub dressed as Britishicon paratroopers? They were ignorant. You have to understand that for most Americans the Troubles were something ill understood in a country far, far away.

    Look at it this way: You visit California because you want to see the world renowned 'Planes of Fame" museum in Chino California. You stop off for a burger at a burger joint on Riverside Drive and some vatos walk up to you and beat you within an inch of your life and steal your car and your wallet. Why? You were ignorantly wearing red in a Crips neighborhood. It's the same thing.

    Well put! This is a pretty stupid state, but the food is great!

    I opened up the drivers door to peek inside, and I was amazed at how small the crew and driver areas are. There was no way my 200 pound (91 kilo) fat-*** was fitting into this thing!

    Then I had to remember these things were designed for 150 pound, skinny infantrymen....
