@ClassicTossPot GOOD ON YA MAN
-
China does not have (if compared to population) very large military.
-
I think ye should have a look at all the Big armies. The countries are usually poor or in debt example. The US is in 13 trillion debt
Russia has a large army but no infrastructre
China is a 2nd world country the same as Russia and alot of eastern european and African countries. I dont think its logical to have a large Military
-
@PolishPatriot we had an army and armoured vehicles in 1922 onwards ye had a few boy scouts on horses with muskets
-
@ClassicTossPot dada, go back playing mw2
-
@ado75 sure sure, at least poland wasn't 700 years under britain. irish - as much fighting spirit as wet toilet paper
-
@ado75 Potential lunatic fringes are what we need. All governments are corrupt and need to be challenged. The government can do what they like because they have the armies behind them. Wars are against these citizenries, these are the ones who die and suffer, not protecting them, thats my issue.
-
@DylanBobMr Well in an ideal world there would be no war. But even on our own wee Isle we have active extremist and paramilitary groups and significant organised crime gangs. These groups all have an ability to destabilize a state especially during times of economic stress. Armies in most cases are insurance policies against chaos. In our case it ensures the citizenry have a bigger stick than any potential lunatic fringe.

I'd prefer if Ireland had 0 soldiers, and every other country had the same amount. You all know what armies are for, so why are you boasting about how big your countries is? "My country has the power to inflict terrible terrible destruction onto others, I'm so fucking cool aren't I?" Please... grow up you fucking war mongering ignorant faggots. Its because of people like you that war still exists.

@12345TheRonan For the record. Army = 8,500 max, Aer Corps = 800, Naval Service = 1200 (approx figures). Even when I was in the FCA 20 years ago there may have been 25,000 on the books but the active reserve was about 12 - 15,000 and it has been considerably streamlined since then. You don't need a freedom of information request for these figures as they are public knowledge.

@bountyc at least in ireland were not forced to join the army so fuck off you stupid pole
-
@ado75 we have 25,000 soldiers and 15,000 reserves
-
@PolishPatriot2010 Have of Poland lives in Ireland, there's more Polish people on the street than natives.
Everywhere I go I see drunken Polish, McDonalds is full of Polish women.
-
@PolishPatriot2010 Yeah the Irish Army dont get hand me downs from the US... oh but whats size got to do with it. Its the quality and moral of the army not the numbers. Look at the polish army is it a conscript force? Yes I think it is meaning that 80% of the army personal had to be draged in to serve in it.
-
@PolishPatriot2010 why do we need more? were neutral we do peace keeping you dont need 450,000 to keep the peace
-
Irish army has only around 20 000 soldiers LOL

-
@TheEamonster i understand that now. i was definitely mis-informed
-
Just because someone is a civilian does not mean they know less about the miltary than military personnel. Ask anyone that works for Janes Information Group.
-
look everyone, i made some bad comments here and i know i was wrong on a lot of things i said! i AM sorry! it appears the things i have seen as regards pdf training are not what i thought they were as some pdf members have pointed out.

-

@PolishPatriot2010 We actually have 8,000 soldiers, whats your point? The BIG Polish army did a great job keeping out the Nazis and then the Soviets, LOL. Polish army - as much fighting spirit as a wet paper bag.
