yes if you want put that into perspective, the Western NGO human right promoter should no crying foul about our war of extermination against commies, separatists movement and other dissents like terrorist Islamic scums as they posed a credible and actual threat to my Country
As i said, you must note that back then ewe were living in cold war period with the soviet Union threat which was very much present among Brits So yes we often had to make harsh decisions in this regard for security reasons. For example during the 70s-80s we operated over 50 frigates and destroyers due to the ever present soviet/communist threat, today we barely operate half of that amount after many cuts by our leaders/politicians and even public since they all know we face no real threat whatsoever in our neighborhood, as we are a secure power.Reason even the warships/equipments we are building is mostly for deployment overseas to protect our interests abroad, reason there is so much pressure from public and some politicians for us to cut our defence spending/manpower even more than we have already. However, little do they know that we live in an uncertain world and threats conflicts can erupt anywhere at anytime like we saw in Ukraine/Crimea and Russia recent aggression/provocations into European(and even Britain's) airspace/waters. Hopefully this swill continue so our public/delusional politicians can wake up from their slumber caused by a very peaceful era. lol
What i am trying to say by all these is that yes our decision back then might seem harsh today but you have to consider the era in which we lived and the formidable threats we faced. So i will say yes it was harsh but justified. moreover it also helped the locals avoid any inconvenience caused by a large military base/aircraft/naval warships and the threat that posed to the island. So we have to always put things into perspective.
