Anything Goes with James English · US Marine Fighting for the IRA - John Crawley Tells His Story · 18 Apr 2026 podcast

That weakened us.

But on the whole, like I said, I couldn't have maintained a lifetime of commitment to that unless I was inspired by the people around me.

The IRA never deliberately kills civilians, right?

I would never have joined an organization that would deliberately kill some guy's family walking down the street.

I mean, but it happened.

It happened.

A lot of times it happened because of lack of attention to detail.

Maybe have to phone in a warning and not realize that the three phone boxes in a row are broken.

You know, things like that.

Lack of attention to detail, like I said, lack of planning.

But there were cases, definitely, where the dark-handed British intelligence was involved in some atrocities by tampering with devices and things like that.

And I believe in the next couple of years, I don't want to...

I don't want to go too far with this because I don't want to betray confidence, but I believe in the next couple of years, there's a couple of things are going to come out that's going to make that clearer on a number of operations that were actually acts of sabotage on behalf of the British state or in which IRA men working for the Brits, you know,

Yes, that did happen.

I mean, that absolutely did happen.

But I don't want to absolve the IRA from blame for things they were involved in where innocent civilians were killed, where it was due to incompetence or whatever on their part, because that did happen too.

But I would never have joined an organization.

I mean, if somebody told me I'm going to go out and I'm going to deliberately kill innocent civilians, you know, I'd shoot him myself.

You know, I know, seriously, like, I mean, you know, oh my God.

You know, it was not only, it was, to kill innocent civilians, like, it's morally wrong and it's politically wrong.
