Fighting Irish face suicide threat in Taliban badlands

[KGlovesNR]

[kargwain187]

They arent Irish ....

[MegaSlayerr]

@kargwain187 they re irish in the british army both from north and south catholic and prods

[kargwain187]

@MegaSlayerr You misinterpret what i meant ... and also (not being rude i hope) its unionists and nationalists .. the use of catholic and protestant is a misrepresentation of the differences in Irish society.

[sass225]

@kargwain187 The Royal Irish Regiment is the last remaining Irish infantry regiment of the line. The 1st Battalion is based in Tern Hill, Shropshire and forms part of 16 Air Assault Brigade. The 2nd Battalion is a Territorial Army battalion and its headquarters is in Portadown, Northern Ireland with company locations across the province. 1 Royal Irish Battlegroup returned in October 2008 from their second tour in Helmand Province, Afghanistan again deployed to Helmand Province in 2010.

Nobody is better equipped to deal with this war than the British in fact i believe if the coalition all adopted British tactics then less soldiers would be killed our soldiers particularly the royal Irish regiments know how to distinguish religions and their diplomacy would come in handy the yanks could learn a thing or 2.

[linuxpowerification]

@colsh1690

thats because the european democracy is more "perfect" than the american one.

[SS13E3]

@colsh1690

yea youre so right, before the "yanks" ever got involved in the helmand province, the brits were actually loosing ground.

60% of ground was lost to the taliban prior to '08

and then the US Marines were called in. In 2 months they killed over 600 taliban

[colsh1690]

@SS13E3 i don't know if that was sarcasm but its not as black&white as that, prior to 08 you forget is the british were outnumbered by a larger taliban force that was getting reinforcements from pakistan and that's why pressure was put on the americans to send more troops when they arrived the taliban withdrew, Marines from the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) joined forces with the british and they captured lost ground and not long after 400 taliban were killed. 2008 was the deadliest year

[SS13E3]

@colsh1690

excuses excuses excuses

SS men would face 10 to 1 odds back in WW2 when going up against insurgents

and they piled up alot of bodies

the fact that the US Marines took over the situation is embarassing for the brits, we cant count on you to do shit alone

[colsh1690]

@SS13E3 in other words your lost for words so you change the subject to something nobody's interested in but now you got my attention i might as well stick my ten cents in.......klajlkjdlfkjsoifoiwfo­hkdhfjhsfnerve cells

[Azog150]

@SS13E3

Maybe Britain and the other 42 nations helping the US out should just fuck off and leave the US to it then? Show some bloody respect

[SS13E3]

@Azog150

the 42 nations that sent a platoon of men each?

i dont mind the british in helmand, theyre already taking 2x the casualties the US forces are

it would only seem like the british want to loose in afghanistan for the 4th time in the 130-140 yrs

[jackydefo]

@SS13E3 Killed: 2,525 (US: 1,599, UK: 377)

your an annoying little troll...stupid german...

[SS13E3]

@jackydefo

yea the british lost 1/4 of that figure only fighting in one sector of the country. While we handled Korengal.

Youve also lost the command over what was your playground in Helmand because of your own incompetence and failure to hold ground in the 4 yrs you had it.

[colsh1690]

@colsh1690 aaaah i get it your an attention seeker who likes to shock people with your beliefs and when that fails you like to talk shite, read the facts before talking nonsense mate if you can read that is. (:P

[SS13E3]

@colsh1690

lost for words? motherfucker, your bitches lost ground that my grunt brothers are dying to get back

dont come here and talk to me about the glory of the british army because its not even living up to the standards you claim it has.

worst of all 20% of the british grunts back home cant deploy due to physical unfitness and emotional problems.

I'll give credit where its due, you fuckers havent done well.

and now I may loose one of my friends to gain that ground back

[colsh1690]

@SS13E3 whats all this "we" my brothers,british grunts back home" and u may lose my friends bullshit about? lol c'mon make your mind up mate i mean what's all that on your channel about Nazi's& SS? silly boy did you think i would'nt see that? do you even know what side you support? admit it your another bum who knows nothing about modern day warfare btw did you know america is in charge of the coalition and they have 78.430 compared to UK's 9500 go figure..or don't they do maths in germany?

[ZZKe7]

@colsh1690 Good points, but also - were they Taliban before or after they were killed?

[37Rusty]

@colsh1690 WELL SAID BOSS, AFTER SO MANY YEARS OF THE NORTHERN IRELAND TROUBLES, THE LADS KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH ALL ASPECTS OF RELIGION, AND ALSO THE BRITISH ARMYS WAY OF DEALING WITH THE PUBLIC ON THE GROUND WHO HAVE A MIXTURE OF VARIEING ATTITUDES AND VIEWS. THESE SKILLS COME INTO EFFECT IN A THEATER LIKE THIS.
