  A man who was once licensed to kill, and in 1995 is qualifying to be a barrister, tells his story of a life in the Paras, the South African Special Forces, the SAS and the RUC. Harry McCallion left school at 16 with no qualifications. His father was a Glasgow gangster. He joined the Paras and served for seven years with six tours in Ulster. Then came two years with the South African Special Forces during which he and a small group attempted to assassinate Robert Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo. Six years with the SAS, which included the Falklands conflict, and two tours with the anti-terrorist team in Ulster, were followed by six years in the RUC. At the end McCallion nearly died in a car crash, left the RUC, completed a law degree and in 1995 is studying to become a barrister at the London Bar.
