Are you ignoring the Report of am earlier enquiry and the comments of the Judge?
The Saville Enquiry report makes it very clear that there were crimes committed.
While there were claims of threats and danger, the official Saville Inquiry concluded that the soldiers on Bloody Sunday were not in danger from the civilians they shot, as the victims were unarmed and not posing a threat. The report found that the paratroopers fired first and that the killings were "unjustified and unjustifiable". Some soldiers claimed they were firing at armed individuals, but this was rejected by the Saville Inquiry.

And the Judge's comments echo that sentiment
In delivering the verdict on Soldier F, Judge Patrick Lynch said members of the Parachute Regiment had shot unarmed civilians as they ran away, adding that those responsible "should hang their head in shame".

Paras are not ordinary soldiers. They are in the same league as the SAS when it comes to being an elite fighting force. They are incredibly proud of their regiment and extremely tough.

It doesn't change what the Judge said:
Judge Patrick Lynch told Belfast Crown Court that the members of the Parachute Regiment who had entered Glenfada Park North had "totally lost all sense of military discipline".
They had, the judge said, shot "unarmed civilians fleeing from them on the streets of a British city".
"Those responsible should hang their heads in shame," he said.

Regardless to any judges comments or any other people’s opinions. I am not here to argue the toss over it as I am on holiday enjoying a cruise. Not on for arguing as I am way too happy. Everyone has a right to their own opinions I am good with that.

Your opinion is less than worthless when it contradicts a legal judgement.
 
To everyone who has contributed to the discussion. Cheers and good health.

The report states, contrary to the previously established belief, that none of the soldiers fired in response to attacks by petrol bombers

Tell that to a para who is trained to kill and not react to the situation. Paras don’t mess around

They are supposed to be highly trained professionals.

They are supposed to be better than terrorists.

They are not supposed to kill unarmed civilians who are not a threat to them.

Although I would question how proud they should be of shooting unarmed civilians in the back. Or shooting someone already lying on the ground from being shot. Or shooting those trying to help the wounded. Including one person waving a white flag as he tried to help the wounded.

1 Para have not one single thing to be proud of for what they did that day.
