His "own men" are British soldiers - your comment is like expecting British Catholic soldiers in WW2 not to fight Italian soldiers, or British Protestant soldiers not to fight German soldiers.

Why "shock"? The main areas of combat today are Iraq and Afghanistan, which I am sure he knew - that would like stating it's a shock that Catholic or Protestant soldiers would serve in Northern Ireland, as they would be fighting their "own men".
