  • well it isn't really an irish custom, they cheer/salute the 69th New York cuz they're also irish, and both sides didn't wish to fight their own countrymen. Yah that's a real good scene, but its your descision, im just askin' for a favor.

  • Yeah, they are irish. I know the irish made up the majority of forigners fighting in the US Army, not only during the Civil War. I also know that scandinavians (as well as other nationalities)ended up, firing at eachother like this in the Civil War. So this scene is really representative, not only for the Brave Irishmen, but also for the immense suffering of killing ones own countrymen.

    I'll see what I can do with the cheerscene, but it would take lots of time to put it in.

  • I like the whole scene, except the saulte in the end. Because it sounds strange to me. Or is it an irish custom? Because I'm from Sweden, and we dont cheer like that. But it is a great scene anyways.

  • Go Irish!!! That particular stand made by the Irish Brigade on that bloody day was one of the greatest and most courageous exploits/military feats during the entire Civil War! For the Irish sustained this nearly 80% casualty rate, and in reality they got closer to that formidable wall than any other Union regiment that assaulted Maryne's Heights that day. No doubt they were some of the best, bravest, toughest and most ferocious soldiers on the planet back then! Taylor Ahern, Squantum Mass.!

  • Study the battle, arse-wipe. The Irish didn't "go in first" at Fredericksburg, or Antietam, or Gettysburg, or Cold Harbor, or any other CW battle. You also didn't "kill us" in 1812 either.

    "Dude" i'm not trolling. I'm asking you how you somehow believe Kennedy was our greatest President of the 20th century.

  • @Rao665 Dude stop trolling and go else where, I can tell your just here looking for an argument and are trying to provoke me.

  • @skatepunkzero Did you learn about Kennedy from your grandmommy?

  • @skatepunkzero Learn to fucking SPELL DUMBASS! DO i need to quote you again DUMBASS: "The greatest President in the 20th Century the greatest was Thomas Jefferson"

    As for executive order 11110 it was a nationalization of banks...a GROWTH in the US Government. and Kennedy GREW the US involvement in Vietnam as well. Maybe your should learn to fucking read and stop capitalizing everything because well...it makes you irrelevant. Especially with a douchebag name of "skatepunkzero."

  • @Rao665 I didn't say Thomas Jefferson was the Greatest President in the 20th Century, I said Thomas Jefferson was the greatest of all time, I said Kennedy was the greatest in the 20th Century LEARN TO FUCKING READ DUMBASS! Also I have read Executive Order 11110 it was to return power to the Teasury Department to issue Silver Certificates, thats why Kennedy was killed. Maybe you should LEARN TO FUCKING READ AND STOP TALKING THROUGH YOUR ASS!

  • @skatepunkzero

    and Yes, the majority of Irishmen became Policemen and Firemen during the late 19th early 20th century.

  • @skatepunkzero "The greatest President in the 20th Century the greatest was Thomas Jefferson" Idiot, Thomas Jefferson was never a President in the 20th Century. you need to learn to type coherent sentences. And Kennedy, where the fuck did you pull that information from!?!? He INCREASED our involvement in Vietnam, and do you know what he did to the Federal Reserve? He NATIONALIZED IT. Look up executive order 11110 in regards to JFK and the Feds. Stop talking through your ass.

  • @Rao665 The greatest President in the 20th Century the greatest was Thomas Jefferson. As for Irish being Policemen and Firemen very very few where in the 1800s, most Irish had to work in the meet packing plants and the slaughter houses or construction very few were ever Police or firemen. As for Kennedy because he has been the only President in the 20th Century who didn't want large Government and wanted to End the Federal Reserve.

  • @skatepunkzero

    the greatest president wasn't Kennedy. What made you think that? and I'll disagree with you calling Policemen and Firemen as "crappy jobs"

  • makes me laugh
