The Irish Brigade -The Warriors Code by The Dropkick Murphys

[ilov2h8]

The walls of America were painted with the blood of the Irish, There are two kinds of people here, the Irish and the rest of the dogs.

[222macgregor]

The Scots and Germans made more of an effort than the Irish...

[swaaahtome]

@222macgregor Obviously not, the scots never got rid of the English. The germans lost 2 world wars...

Source, Declaration of Independence: "whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Point follows: the civil war should not have happened. The Union was violating the South's right to institute a new government.

[kennyworth1967]

Nice video..Well done!

[eyetwosee]

Clear the Way!!

[billyhunchback]

@eyetwosee :Faugh A Ballagh(Clear The Way)is the motto of the Royal Irish Regiment,a regiment of the British army.It was preceeded by the notoriously sectarian UDR (Ulster Defence Regiment)Who were disbanded because of sectarian killings in the North of Ireland).Hope that helps.

This song is a tribute to the Boxing legend Micky Ward.

The DKM's song about the Irish Brigade is "The Fighting 69th"

[GettysburgGhost1863]

@repooCVII Yes, I know, but there were already some tributes to the 69th NY out there, and I wanted to use something else. With all respect to Micky Ward, I thought the spirit of "The Warrior's Code" also could apply to the Irish Brigade.

[chapdog82]

These guys were stirctly an offensive strike force of Shock troops. Did you ever hear of these guys defending a fort or fighting behind a barracade? I think not. They're Up there with the Iron Brigade as the most dangerous weapons in the AOP.

[mumbles637]

I did my senior thesis on the Irish Brigade at the Battle of Antietam and Fredericksburg, never saw this video good job.

[gettysburgob3]

[meagher100]

you wil never beat the irish ,69th 4ever

[tegoten]

We, Poles, also have written few pages about warrior code

[meagher100]

@tegoten sorry i ment thumbs up

[tegoten]

Every nation is proud of their heros. You have fighting 69th, we have our cavalry, which beaten 14000 Swedes in battle of Kirholm (we were outnumbered 3 to 1), took the Somosierra Pass (400 cavalrymen againt 3000 spanish infantry) or brave defenders of Westerplatte and Wizna. And in the American Civil War we had Polish Legion - 58th New York Infantry :)

[islandfreaks]

Yeah, but you ran to Canada, not towards the South.

[meagher100]

my grandfather fought with the pole's in the second world and said "they fought the natzi,s with no fear .

[tegoten]

Yeah we hated them for what they were doing in Poland :)

[naughton101]

we irish have writen the warrior code TAL

[funnyman7071]

one of ancestors was in the lrish brigade.

[belegarthbrooder]

I find it funny that there is war imagery when DK has several lyrics that are very anti war.

[archAngel1012]

The video represents a conflict that did happen, as well as conflicts before that , but the meaning of the song is also about the conflicts in your own life and having to be strong and stead fast, if you did not get at least that out of it you just wasted 2 minutes of your time and 5 seconds of us reading your comment.

[GettysburgGhost1863]

I've not found that to be entirely true. This really only applies to Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya and Green Fields of France. The rest are really neither pro- nor anti-war.

[jefflund]

How about Dropkick Murphys song the Fighting 69th, about the New York Irish Regiment?

They're not pro or anti war really, its music that either celebrates ones sacrifice for war, or for godforsaken principalities of war.

[mrchaos831]

@GettysburgGhost1863 I've always found them to be pro-soldier but anti-war personally.

[X5728]

@belegarthbrooder

Well unless there are some DKM songs that am not aware of the only anti-war songs they have are aimed at the British Crown for pushing Irish and Scottish boys into service and sending them to die in foreign lands.

[WMUnited]

@belegarthbrooder They have a song about the 69th Irish Brigade

The Fighting 69th

The Murphys are anti-war though.
