So we all know that the Irish are excellent fighters. High pain

nobody cares o'connor, go get your ass beat at the pub and contemplate life from the dumpster you sleep in

>What wars have they fought in the modern era?
The Irish were fighting against the English for independence up through the 1920s. Then there was the Depression, WWII, and the Cold War. That doesn't leave a lot of time for fighting random wars.

They're good at guerilla warfare...

>>30229043
Fucking Protesters ruined Ireland

>>30229032
If the experience of the Union Army with Irish immigrants is anything to go on, the Irish are decent fighters, but poor soldiers. When they were put into their own units (69th, most notably) and commanded by their own, they were somewhat capable.

Not really that notable, really. It is like people are just people, no matter where you find them.

(Citation fucking needed)

Only thing Irish people are good at is talking about how Irish they are.

Fuck off. We're great at boozing.

I look forward to a 100+ reply thread full of butthurt Irish/Irish Americans, Brits, and propaganda music.

Let's just tie a potato to a string and drag it around, thanks for coming out.

>>30229089
No.

Define "good". They blew up too many catholic children for me to call them professionals.

They are a good illustration of why an insurgency at home is a giant fucking headache that every government should avoid like the plague.

>>30229032
>What is their reputation in the US military? Are they good infantry, good tankers, good officers?
They don't have one. There are plenty of micks that harp on about muh Irish heritage, but they are particularly good at anything, at least not enough to develop a cogent stereotype.
>Are they good sharpshooters? Are they good engineers?
They (Irish rangers) won that sniper competition a few years ago. Other than that, there's nothing to be said either way.

>>30232286
>They blew up too many catholic children
that's not possible

>>30232044
No that's Boston Irish

>>30229032
Hard to qualify.
At a certain point being "good" at war isn't as meaningful as "willing to keep fucking doing it for 30+ years".

>>30229032
>High pain tolerance, angry, deep seated inferiority complex that causes them to crave fisticuffs like a Jew lusts for gold.

That can all be attributed to drunkenness.

>>30232465
There's actually a thing with the pain tolerance. Gingers feel less pain on average than others. I've been with 4 redheads that didn't mind getting slapped and choked..

Calm down there, Paisley. You can scream about Popery as loudly as you like, but Elizabeth-sama will still never notice you.

>>30229032
>What is their reputation in the US military? Are they good infantry, good tankers, good officers?

Good infantry? That don't fight?

Good tankers? That don't exist?

>>30232742
>Good officers? That can't read?

do "DEE IREESH" have a gun culture ? They have that armalite song and other bullshit but i guess i mean gun clubs like the bongs have.

Imagine ol sheamus with his ballyblaster and cabi hat shooting...cans? clays? long range?

I can't picture it like some ol bong shooting club.

>>30229032
I see. So, potatoes are like, their Kryptonite amirite gays?

No that's "Plastic Paddy" no matter the area in America there is a guy claiming to be "Irish" because his great great grandma sucked off Paddy O'fea.
