The problem talking about the IRA is that thet befreinded the Irish population and fought for them, which would make the guerrilas, but they also attacked civilians, which would make some of them terrorists. In the film, the first attack is against royalty(government) so it's a guerilla attack. the battle at the end was supposed to be an attack on royalty, but the main badguy was only after civilians, so he was a terrorist, but not the rest of his team. The attack on ryans wife and child was a terrorist attack. Most countries, depending on what side of the conflict you're on, always call guerilla actions 'terrorist' in order to demonize the opponent. The whole Ireland/north Ireland debacle isn't really something that needs to be discussed on a site about guns though, so I say leave it up to whoever made the page. But I think some of the edits were more technically correct, I think they actually made mention of the difference about training camps and how hard it was to tell them apart in the film. --[[User:Zurak 47|Zurak 47]] 03:27, 26 August 2009 (UTC) | |||

- Why does this book get a movie but Rainbow Six doesn't?-S&Wshooter 18:58, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
- Because Rainbow Six has been in development hell since forever. There have been countless disputes over directors and casting. Personally, though, I doubt the movie will be any good if/when it gets made. I know how much teenage boys love it, but I think Rainbow Six is by far the least substantive and the least interesting of Tom Clancy's books (not that his books are exactly great literature, but at least before Rainbow Six they usually had more of a political context based on real-world events). Rainbow Six makes for a far better FPS game than it does a movie, and I'd rather play ones of the games than see a movie based on it, which would almost surely suck no matter how many cool firearms were featured in it (and knowing Clancy, it's sure to have the latest H&K weaponry). -MT2008 19:17, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Jesus, the IRA sympathizers have invaded IMFDB
I just undid a whole bunch of edits by some moron IRA sympathizer who couldn't stand that I called his beloved ski mask-wearing psychos "terrorists", so he changed the page to call them "volunteers". I already had to do the same thing with my page for The Devil's Own. What is it with these people that they refuse to accept what is pretty much common sense to the rest of us? -MT2008
Because in their twisted minds the IRA wasn't terrorizing Ireland by blowing up buildings and killing British troops, they were "freedom fighting" or some shit. M14fanboy 02:58, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
