    GOD SAVE THE KING! The Irish millinery more than respects the UK's military too. I used to serve Ireland as a soldier and i'll never forget working in the officers mess (the officers bar and relaxation area) there was all memorabilia of Royal Irish this and and Pals and Rangers that, all British army pictures and medals of the 19th century and WWI. They embrace their British Army heritage and history to the extreme. I was taken aback by it, there wasn't one thing there about the OLD original IRA or IRB or the |Irish war of independence, it was all 19th century and WWI British Army stuff. At the time I saw it as being a bit pretentious as the British army is way more than the Irish would be but the way I see it nowadays they just were saluting their own history and saluting the British Military. Again GOD SAVE THE KING!

    Their training actually looks very intense. I guess smaller countries have the luxury to concentrate more money and resources to have better quality troops ,then most other militaries. Military training that is very well rounded and long. Is better in my opinion then short training just concentrated on killing. Things like teamwork, leadership and thinking well under pressure. Are qualities that are very difficult to teach. If I were to choose I would probably join either the IDF, the Irish military or the australian military.

    They been using the AUG since early 90's. FN FAL before that. Got all their AUG's for "BUTTER" believe it or not! Ireland had a "butter mountain surplus" in the early 90's because of intense dairy farming here and the Austrian's needed butter so a deal was struck. AUG's for Butter! Not kidding. I served back then. U may find it on gaggle!

    And I can guarantee you, Ireland wouldn't have lost a one on one in Afghanistan either. They are purely a defence force and don't have to worry about being invaded up or down. ​Who is going to invade Ireland John? You are our only neighbour, and no offence my British friend but the last time there was any kind of a conflict between Ireland and Britain Ireland didn't do too badly. A group of peasants and farmers brought the might of the British Empire to its knees. Fair enough they didn't get the North but thats a dirty Orange hole anyway. If you put it into context what if California wanted to leave the USA by way of use of arms? Lol good luck with that one. But this is more or less what Ireland achieved, with no complex naval ships or a defensive radar system. Look i am not trying to crap on my British Brothers but it is what it is. I know guys that left the Irish Army and went North of the border and joined up, one guy is a sniper in a Royal Marine Commando's. Irish Soldiers are great its just down South they are PURELY a defence force. And don't worry John if anyone tries to invade Ireland they are going to suffer. Ireland will hold its own. Who is going to invade? Russia? Not happening. The UK? Never going to happen. So why be paranoid and spend Billions on something that isn't going to come about? NATO, well Ireland isn't part of NATO and recent events have exposed Russia as being the most Mickey Mouse force in Europe so all of your budgets for all of these years was all for NOTHING! I'll finish by saying that me personally, I'm an Anglophile, GOD SAVE THE KING!

    @@johnkelly9160 Well OK, we will use Ukraine as a yardstick then. The World didn't allow Ukraine to fall in the face of an invasion, and IMO Ukraine won't fall. Again, who is going to invade Ireland? NO ONE John, that's my point. So why spend all of that money/budget on something that isn't going to happen? You guys are in NATO, why spend on that budget every single year for the Mickey Mouse Russians that can't even handle Ukraine? Never mind the might of NATO, they wouldn't stand a chance! so again why this huge budget on "battle tanks" and so on. And for the record all of Russia's tanks are being taken out by javelins so a javelin automatically neutralises the threat of a tank, and I can tell you first hand that Ireland he many a Javelin. Wow Sir you sure have been around for sure. Iraq twice? OMG you must have had a great rank then?
