i'm clueless as to who would want to do him harm. i mean i've had meaningful conversations with staunch IRA supporters about my time during the troubles, and we left the table hands shaking. i'm not sure if it's 'mcnab' that states he has many enemies or some public image assistant that puts it out. but all it is is nonsense. 'ryan' was a resonable man [for a northern monkey], we got a long a lot because we were both always sand [went from the weekenders to the reg's in the regiment]. he was liked and respected [just about everyone was, it becomes a second family] but what opinion of him really is now, i have no idea. i left in 91', so i've got no knowledge of what opinion of him really was [i know people say he's hated, but i wonder if it's really true?] though i do believe published ex-members, aren't welcome back for visits anymore [not sure if that's right or not]. that's a lot of ex's not allowed back [no wonder it's gained the name special authors service.
