Heyman thegreat the English had cruelly ruled over the Irish for a little over 800 years and within that time they attempted to annihilate Gaelic culture, language, and customs until Nationalists decided it was bullshit and had a cheeky revolution that threw the English out in 1921 i believe but after that the occupation of Ulster (Northern Ireland) remained and as a result thousands would end up dying in a thirty year period known as the Troubles

This is why the Irish military are good in what they do, the smaller the size of the military the harder the training they have. Just like the Marine Corps of the United States, they may have small numbers but they are one of the bests of U.S. and this is coming from a future Army Ranger.

Greatest Respects to the Irish Army from a Irishman who for 15 Years of His Life, was an Officer of the Crown, employed by the Parliament and the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia, attached to the Australian Department of Defence, embedded in the Australian Military, chiefly although not exclusively the Australian Army, as a Special Placement Officer, specialising in Military Planning and Operational Logistics. An Irishman who at one time was Offered a Direct Commission into the Australian Army as an Officer, was believed by a number of Officials from a number of Foreign Nations to be a Major General (2 Star) of the Australian Army and at another time, was Acknowledged (by 24 Generals from 12 Nations) to be a Field Marshal (Long Funny Stories). But still, the Greatest of Respect to Irishman who Achieved what He never did, Service to Ireland. God Bless.

I cant speak for the Irish Army, but for the Irish you'll not find a better fighting man..... My great Grandfather (From Naas Co Kildare) fought for the British in the early 1900's in Africa and India. Served loyally. It really pains me that the old rivalry is still around and starting up again, with finger pointing and shite talking. We share a history, a blood and this beautiful little spot on the planet. The real enemies are those from outside who are slowly but surely growing in our midst. These new Muslim settlers of the British & Irish Isles, share nothing in common, no values, no love, in fact despise everything about our people and culture.... Ireland may have been spared their hate and rage, but from what I've seen of Ireland recently, its not long 'sadly' before you'll taste it!

This is so misguided, by mere figures alone we would literally crush Ireland. All together the Irish military consists of 9500 men, 9500! That’s a minuscule amount. There is no way you’d be able to defend your sea, your air or your land. The Uk military consists of 160,000. The Uk defence budget is also around 56 billion whereas Ireland’s is 885 million. Britain’s equipment is also some of the worlds best, we have the most advanced drone stealth bomber and the most advanced tank armour in the world used only on Challenger II’s and M1 Abrams. Our special forces are also world class training other world class special forces, our naval forces such as the Royal Marines are also world class beating forces 3x their size and marching for miles just to reach the fight. We also have some of the best intelligence in the world being part of the five eyes intelligence alliance. Our ‘soft power’ is also ye best in the world being able to influence other countries massively and our alliances are with the strongest countries in the world.

toolboxtan Guerilla warfare is what the IRA used, thats a damn sight harder to fight than conventional warfare which is what the Irish defence forces would use, the Irish army wouldnt even be able to come close to an attack on northern Ireland, not only would the UVF probably fuck you over but the British army would have little trouble in defending it. Cannot compare Irish Rangers to the SAS or SBS, British special forces are a cut above the rest

Well that will never ever ever happen so keep dreaming. Sincerely an Irishman serving in the parachute regiment.

An Irishman serving in the parachute regiment of the British army is a traitor, do you not remember the Irishmen they murdered on Bloody Sunday?
