	Provisional Irish Republican Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to this theory, the modern day Irish Republican Army is merely the continuation of the original Irish Republican Army which served as the army of the Irish Republic during the Irish War of Independence.

		Moreover, the IRA Army Council was the legitimate government of Ireland until the Irish Republic could be re-established.

		Now that he was seeing it for the first time, this foreign land, he was suddenly much more clearly aware of the vague fear that had always begun coalescing inside him whenever he tried to confront the feeling of unreality that seemed bound up with his mission.

		The general's anxiety grows in tandem with the body count; he is haunted not simply by the macabre nature of the work and the animosity he senses from the Albanians around him, but most profoundly by the guilt he assumes for the soldiers' deaths.
		The stop is the general's undoing, as he's confronted by a bitter crone with the bones of the infamous Colonel Z, who hanged her husband, raped her daughter, and terrorized countless other Albanians as leader of the notorious Blue Battalion.
		The zenith of the general's demoralization is poignantly captured as he begs through a door, drunk and desperate to replace the 6' 1" Colonel Z's lost bones, urging the priest to forgive him for kicking the sack into the creek and to hear his proposal.
