RIP John McAleese

[QuackHandle]

He had an aura surrounding him didn't he? Such a shame he's gone.

RIP If it wasn't for him my uncle wouldn't be alive today.

If it were not for these guys it would be a sttier place than it is now.
for doing what the other 99.99% of us havent got the courage to do,despite what we like to imagine or believe.
Truly sad.

I couldn't of put it better, RIP

[Biker's Nemesis]

A man that many wouldn't give a second glance to in the street, a man who many if they passed him would think he was just another old soak.

There are many like him who fight and give their all so we can live the life we do.

like I always say, you never know who's who and shouldn't pass judgement on looks alone.

RIP.

[Dirty Frank]

RIP very sad news, ive seen him on many SAS documentaries and he always seemed very humble.

[tamore]

reckon he could still kick my arse!

played a part in changing the game (or at least confirming the game) for anyone thinking about taking such action on british soil.

Sad news, true professionals. No glory, no fame, just getting the job done making our lives safer.

I know in recent years there have been the books and TV etc, but back then it was just their job.

RIP Mac.

My uncle was one of the hostages in the Iranian embassy siege.

[jimmyjimjim]

Thought it might be that, but did wonder if it was something else less famous.

[Asterix]

Proper lad.

RIP John - you're with your boy now.

[BeansOnToast]

Very sad to hear this. I've never been in the forces, but Mac is the one guy I would have followed into the most hostile of places.

RIP

[JonnyFive]

What a brilliant chap he was.

If you were picking teams, you'd pick the team he was on.

RIP.
