@clarkeyladDF ,2 skype laptops between 410 irish troops,yes 2.The worst air/con you can ever imagine in the hottest country in the world.Buy your own desert boots because your issued ones will fall apart in about 3 weeks over there.Now bear in mind,TChad is a sub sarahdesert,53d c most days,not one of our vehicles has air con,yet they are all fitted for it.The Finns who share our camp cant believe it.all there vehicles are fully functional.Finns wear combat shorts,Irish wear trousers.loads more.
we are not, by a long shot one of the best equipped armys in the world.The amount of equiptment irish soilders have to buy themselves before travelling on a UN or NATO mission is an absoulate discrace.
The Republic of Ireland can be proud of the thousands our forces have saved. The Irish Army is the best peacekeeping force in the world for several reasons as well as Ireland having one of the best equipped armies on Earth, we have decades of experience peacekeeping in hard missions, The Army is diplomatically flexible due to the republic being a non-aligned nation and Irish troops are friendlier. We know what its like to be in hell from the famine and we don't want other peoples to be in hell.
