Prod paramilitaries killed far more civilians than the IRA did

>>29401188

I'm pretty sure that I read something to this effect before.

I guess you could counter that by saying the Prods didn't bomb the republic like the IRA bombed Britain

There's probably more but because of the propaganda war that is waged against any organization or person who challenges the mainstream, we'll likely never know.

Nice muzzle awareness, Paddy! Better hope that driver doesn't hit a pothole!

From everything I can gather, before the IRA started, all the Irish rebels seemed to have the right spirit, but were completely retarded when it came to tactics and actually fighting.

>>29402382

Yeah cause they have live rounds and load them during parades...

>>29402437

As a guerilla force they were very effective, managed to take out quite a few British occupational officers and troops.

>>29402355
>>29402441
never before has a more pointless military existed.

>>29402331
Suck a dick you plastic paddy cunt. No-one cares about your pathetic "freedom fighters" who didn't win their country, they were given it by a battle weary and bored british empire.

>>29402458
There were a few exceptional fighters, like the two guys that managed to kill upwards of a hundred British soldiers with a machine gun.
Because of the echos from the buildings and the precision of the shots, they though there were hundreds of Irish.

But then there was the time they occupied some castle or another, and instead of positioning themselves on the roof, they dug trenches.

>>29402468
Because a military's only purpose is to invade/defend other countries right

>>29402532
>a military's only purpose is to invade/defend other countries
Yes? You just answered your own question. What has the Irish army actually done in the past 20 years that would be worth noting? Or any Irish armed force for that matter.

enormous wastes of time. Some african tribe wants to shit all over their neighbours and do voodoo magic/get ebola and die? Shame, not my problem. Could do with thinning out their population.


>http://www.military.ie/overseas/current-missions/
>http://www.military.ie/overseas/past-missions/
First off, it's laughable you need a webpage specifically to answer this question, it must get asked a lot.

Second - literally none of this is worth mentioning. One of them mentions you sent 2, TWO, officers to Guinea, as if this is some sort of crowning achievement in the operational history of the Irish Armed Forces.

Why bother arguing? Ireland has undeniably the most irrelevant and pointless military force on the planet.

Keep on moving the goal posts lad. Did you expect an neutral non-NATO island nation to be power projecting into Iraq or Afghanistan?

Just because Ireland inst a global power doesn't revoke the right to have a military. Clearly it has a role within the Irish Republic be it ceremonial, civil defense or humanitarian.

>>29403061
>having a military purely to help black people when they inevitably fuck up due to their incompetence and to do nice parades and stuff
budget well spent

Are people really this upset that a country is celebrating its rightful independence from a cruel unjust regimeor are we all just shitposting ?

Nobody cares anymore. Everyone wants to just get on with their lives in peace without the worry of your family home being firedbombed.

Or your little sister/brother being shot by a sniper going or coming back from school.

Mad Bongs and hypocritical Americans who think the Brits are their "friends"

There's literally nothing wrong with the Irish celebrating their independence

>>29403545
I'm a burger.

We side with anyone trying to shoot the British out of their country.

Anyway, it's stupid to call it a failure when it achieved its political goals.

"Always treat a gun as if it were loaded."

>>29403569

I think you overplay how much people actually care.

Literally nobody cares about it. Everyone is too bothered eating roast dinners with extended family or eating chocolate eggs.

>>29403545

You need to learn your history. As the guy said, it was a major failure for the North tactically with estimated casualties ~10k. US casualties were around 400 Marines.

US media wanted to spin up a story and so claimed it was the next Down Bien Phu, even though it was nothing like it. Even general Giap later laughed at the comparison.

Tactical success and win for US, but ended up destroying their war effort. Exactly what the post said.

Keep crying those shamrock tears senpai. No one in Ireland is too bothered about this. They might go watch a parade or mention it to their friends but at the end of the day they care more about the fact that it's Easter, since Ireland is a very Catholic country.

>>29402355
>>29402441
Why? Irish can join bong military where they might actually see some action, why would anyone join a neutral force over that?
