For context, this is from terminator 2 where the protagonist is saved by his best friend in the first 30 min of the film by lying to a terminator cyborg from the future posing as a cop.

Here's something we should all consider.
Back in the day, the Irish Republican Army was one of the most feared terrorist groups in the world.
At their height they only had about fifty full time assassins.
But every assassin had a massive 'rear echelon.'
When the shooter came to town, he'd have a choice of three or four safe houses, a dozen drivers, and at least two doctors to go to if he was injured.
So you are saying the IRA assassins have a better healthcare plan than most Americans?
On the other hand, IRA assassins are much more productive than most Americans.
Why are you booing? You know it's true!
Not better than American assassins, though.
Badass warning tbh
any good reading resources on this?
Funny thing. I was working in NYC in public health on 9/11/2001. Afterwards, we got a lot of lectures on terrorism and mass casualty incidents.
Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe could be a good place to start. The central bit being told is about the abduction and murder of a woman, but most of the book is really about the history of the IRA and the Troubles, giving context to the abduction.
Che Guevara was half Irish half Basque. MF was born for it
Well yeah, this guy just ran to the continental.
