On 09/04/1992, Peter McBride was shot to death, in Belfast, N. Ireland, by two Brits from the elite Scots Guard. They were convicted of his murder, but released after a few years and are back in the Army. Their then-commanding officer, Tim “Rambo” Spicer, thinks they got a raw deal. Spicer’s company, Aegis Defense Services, has just won a $293 million security contract in Iraq. The two thugs that killed McBride are also serving in Iraq!
