fighting side by side in nato operations would be brilliant, i would give my life defending this island if that was the case, because as far as im concerned you are my brothers, Scots are my cousins.
I respect Eire, Unlike some scumbags who disrespect my country, my ideal world would see Ulster Scot and Celt fight side by side instead of each other, but not in a united Ireland, in a 2 country island
Bein in Somalia Timor Bosnia Kosovo Leb Eritrae Ethiopia and done a few exercises elsewere. And may i just say ur all talkin shite! And sniper boy talkin bout rankings! lol there is no rankings! what u think combat is? ps2 army games! U wud make a gud weekend soldier allright (lol)
why dont u shut up. r u in the army no. so just be quite. also your so called usmc got raped by la legion in "TRAINING" exercises they got strung up 2 a tree mate.
mate, if there isn't one already, be the first :) when it comes to that it's not about the flesh and blood you inherit, it's the flesh and blood you devote to the army and the people of Ireland :)
the arw(irish rangers) are one of the best special ops teams in the world.. why? because you can not walk on to an iris army base an d just go up and start asking about them like whit the us and the uk special ops because they keep the most inportant rule of special forces 'keep your mouth shut about what we do'and have you ever heard of the arws fucking up a misson like the sas or delta force.. no why cause the dont fuck up
wow.. lotsa dumb comment heres.. fact is teh irish rangers do the US ranger course.. thats why their called rangers so chances are theyre just as good as their over seas equivalents..keep in mind Ireland doesnt have an army, it has a defence force. amnd thus it is funded as a defence force, its budget is only 700-800mil anually, and seeing as im just back from a reserve camp in the curragh, i have to say, they do exceptional things with that small budget
to point out the rangers have only been aroud since the 70s so of course other special ops who have been around longer will have more expierence(and idiot if you had read my comment you would see that i've already said that)but we are only talking about the operations we now of as a neutral country we have to keep special ops a lot more
idiot the irish rangers have one advantage over ant special forces in the world nobody nows much about them discovery havent done anything on them so they are much more effective when push comes to shove mostly they work within the E.U so they will team up with other countries east timor as an example the australians gave airsupport and they then had the support they needed the irish do have heilcopters they could use they just don't send them abroad
see the irish army and people aren't hated like the U.K,U.S to name a few the rangers have only been around for 35 years the sas and others have been around a lot longer so they will have more expereince and
secret then most other countries.also then irish army in general is'nt as aggresive as alot of other countries(uk,us to name a few)so we think befor we act ye don't and don't say you do cause in case you had'nt noticed you're fucked in the middle east
real world exerience the rangers have gone to libera here they saved a group of 35 hostages taken by heavily armed goverment forces using a non lethal policy east timor patrolling borders and often taking fire and they were in iraq for a period when irish journalist rory carrol was taken hostage he was later released when he was found out to be irish
You guys who pay the Irish army out are nothing less than retards ohhh the yanks as if the yanks are so fucking great then why did AUSTRLIAN SAS have to save there ass in Afgan land oh that is right BECAUSE THE AMERICANS CANT DO IT as for the irish spec ops you tool they serve as a UN peace keeping force and fight and train along side with Aus SAS Brit SAS and greek spec ops and are renound through the wold so why dont all you retards just shut up and go back to your games.
actually the best special forces is the british sbs even tho the sas we're the first and who all else are based on.I do think its stupid and a waste of money ireland having all this in the end of the day it would be the british coming to the rescue if anything serious happend.
no your wrong actually, the irish army ranger wing train with the sas and do exercises and that and they have proved on more than one occasion that they are far superior to any special forces units. im afraid you havent got a clue and are just talkin through your ass. we will never nor have ever needed the british in our country. and trust me i know what im talkin about
its not called the idf its the pdf (permanent defense forces) and please you people who dont have a fucking clue about the irish army should shut the fuck up putting it down, although under strenght to be classed as a real army its soldiers are among the best trained!
i agree with what you said and support it 100% people always say shit about the irish and have no idea what the fuck they are saying and yes the irish army are some of the best trained in the world.
cheers, in fact we have a link the australian army and the irish...we use the same rifles the steyr aug, and we can get a transfer to your army and still hold our rank so were quite similar.
Agreed, I'm hoping to join the RDF. The Irish Ranger Wing were ranked 3rd behind 2 armed police forces, making them the no.1 ranked army unit in the world!!! Just cause were not involved in Iraq doesnt mean were not good. Hey, at least we dont have to worry about our government sending us out to die for a tin of OIL!!!!
The Irish Ranger Corps is the irish army special forces and is(believe it or not) second in the world when it comes to training and expertise.the only superior special forces belong to the Americans...even your most beloved SAS doesnt cut it..the only reason the rangers dont get this recognition and "hollywood status"(hahaha) is because they dont spend there time running around iraq and afghanistan with there heads up george bushes arse
What the fuck are you talking about you British Yob!. The Irish Defence Forces' has small amounts Infantry, Aircraft and Naval Services because they are no more than a peace keeping force!...Navy used mainly to reduce the smugling of Contraband from the rest of Europe.
Nat a bad vid, doesnt reflect the more dominant bordom of bein in the army, could think of worse ways to make a living tho.. oh and fuck that prick from the north on about the fabulous british army, who got hammered by the irish republican army when they came here...
you couldnt get more weak or gay looking than the irish army in the top 100 armys.lolol the vid looks like an ad for their reserves only.lol im glad im northen irish, and ruled by a proper army. the british
hey, think you spelt monkey wrong ;) twat. are you irish? im northern irish, so i have just as much or more of a right to comment. the IRA would beat that rag tag army any day, and they're terrorists.lol suck it up hater, brit rules. peace.x lol
Im irish.i have experienced both sides so my "right" to comment is greater than yours mate.i dont hate britain.what i DO hate is people who talk out of ignorance,and through that ignorance have formed a disillusion of grandeur.the irish nation has only been free to operate for less than 80 years, i think we are doing pretty fucking well.dont cod yourself mate.if it wasnt for the unionists, britain would do anything to get rid of NI.your a pain in the arse quite frankly
this, comming from a guy who just writes twat? when did you get a brain, or is this your mum writting? either way, the uk loves us, like their bad ass kid. and if push came to shove, which army would you want protecting you? them or that bunch of light weights on the vid? and your not the only one who has experienced both sides. i watched father ted too you know!!
Considering I was in the army, and my brother is actively serving...I would say that it is you who needs to watch those hollywood movies with a little more skepticism. They may be entertaining bu they certainly aren't informative.
same tactics yes, they cross train with the british and swedish armies. but completely different equipment. steyr rifles, mowag apcs, eurocopter helicopters etc
ye i know our army is small but we are known to be over to be the best peac keepers the world over! ask anyone who knows what they are talking about. who were the only peace keepers to take no shit from the israelis in lebannon when they thought they could do what they want. the irish thats who
and what do the english army do? climb up america's ass by putting troops in iraq? irelands defence forces worry about things that matter like peacekepping
All Ireland need is a coast guard and a rescue service. And perhaps a force to guard to money trucks in Ireland due to the bandits, ie. the IRA. Everything else is a mere excuse. Sorry, but it is true.
The IDF is not used offensively, but to provide aid and defence to thousands of ppl in africa, and especially in the lebanon, doing the work that the media so often forgets still needs doing in war torn countries other than iraq - which i mite add is going real well - look at afghanistan, once iraq came along, u barely hear anything bout it, which is almost falling to civil war. so y dont u leave ur ignorant comments aside when talking about an army that helps many ppl, and doesnt kill many ppl
