I don't think he would have considered himself as part of an occupying force and nor should he have.
Also, how small is the presence? According to this we had a grand total of 8 members of the US military in Ireland in 2011. Does that mean the people in question were just guards for the embassy or something?

Might be a little late, but is anybody really surprised that Madden is the game that enraged somebody enough to shoot up a tournament?

Luckily we don't have Monopoly tournaments.

I watched the video a day after this happened and you can hear gunshots and people screaming in it and I never want to watch it again.
