nicely. i don't understand sufficient approximately Irish history to grant an in intensity reaction. i don't understand how long eire has been a British colony. yet evaluate the kind of countries who staked territory in North united statesa., alongside with the interior of reach human beings. of course the time sessions additionally are very diverse. The revolutionaries have been a plenty extra desirable and institutionally related team of professional infantrymen and considerable land proprietors. the factor that makes, is that IRA isn't "undesirable" purely too fringe to signify the Irish majority. And question to you - has the IRA ever bombed a gentle aim? what's their coverage on that?

I wouldn't think so. I have no problem with it. It's a generally accepted term for the British army of the time, but make sure you do use a variety of words, don't only use "Redcoats."

They will not be offended any more than you getting offended by the Redcoats calling some of the Americans Turncoats.

No. It was a long time ago. Slang from centuries ago typically do not retain their harsh impact. Feel free to pepper your conversation liberally with REDCOATS as much as you like. And if you should offend, be sure to say something "sounds like someone is a sore LOSER!"

I wouldn't think so.....that's what they were called. But then again in this day of everybody being offended even if it's fact.......who knows? Are you wanting to offend?
I mean people do things with the intent of hurting people and then hide behind "truth" when it's a convient weapon. Even facts can hurt if that's what you intend to do. Does this make my butt look big? LOL

They shouldn't be offended if that is put into proper context and not meant to be offensive. Historical terms are not always correct in this "politically correct" world but it is the word used at that time in history.
