		The army developed the delusion that it was a neutral force on the basis that neither side was happy with it.[92] However, Protestants were generally unhappy because the army was not firm enough with the Catholic community,[93] while Catholics were unhappy because the army was being too firm with them.
		The fact that conflict began over the British flag emphasises both the increase in popular nationalist feeling in Derry, increased resentment at the symbols of British rule, and the fact that the reformed RUC was still happy to identify itself as actively opposed to Irish nationalism.
