David Burke, author of "Kitson’s Irish War: Mastermind of the Dirty War in Ireland" breaks down the work/influence of Brigader Frank Kitson and the infamous "Military Reaction Force" better known as the MRF, The British Army branch who were "there to act like the IRA".
David tell us about how Kiston developed the tactics that would used against the IRA in Belfast during his time in Kenya, Malaya & Oman . We speak about the MRF 'S origins, the unorthodox way they operated and the effective license-to-kill that they possessed. David tells us about the double-agents within the IRA working for the MRF known as "the Freds", the four square laundry intel gathering operation the MRF ran as well the brothels they operated.
We speak about the recent news that an MRF soldier (solider "F", not to be confused with Bloody Sunday solider F") will face trial for the murder of completely innocent father of 8, Patrick McVeigh.
