Why do we need to keep investigating these? Can’t we just move on?

What’s to investigate? Occupying troops were killed by the people they were occupying. These victims weren’t civilians, they were legitimate enemy combatants. Any British soldier in Ireland was a valid target IMHO.

You’re imagining lots of cross-border raids occurring then?
There’s a lot to investigate. But the political and social reality is that it isn’t possible to investigate one way, it would have to be investigate everything. It would drag things up again, and NI is trying to move forward, so there is limited scope.
