Irish guards my arse, there are no Irish soldiers in Iraq, only Royal hunrish loyal only to the Brit Queen, crown and brit colonial powers. They have the cheek to call themselves Irish, when in fact they are Royal hunrish, who have served the brit establishment loyally for hundreds of years. Arselick as much as they want, royal hunrish soldiers are despised by the rest of true blue brit soldier companies, they may do the dirty work, but they'll never be as good as our true blue brit soldiers. They're second rate losers,fit only to do our dirty work.

No such thing really, but anyway, they are Royal Irish Guards and whereas I don't like what they are doing I feel that them getting killed isn't ideal either...
I do realise above comment is somewhat sarcaustic (caustic chosen deliberately)

Hopefully the resolute and young of the royall irish will restore freedom and law to mesopotamia much like they attempted to in Ireland. Unfortunately their hard endevours in their home country could not absolve the foulness of the fate of so many of terrors victims. While these heros perform so bravely in a foreign land why not make a land fit for heroes by getting the arm chair drug running god fathers of "oglaigh n a heirreann" to decommission and disband or Shall we leave the scum unabated in their place??

Can't cope with the fact that not all Irish agree with your crappy, narrow-minded definition of what it means to be Irish; that the definition of Irish is not 'I hate Brits'; that a lot of the lads fighting in Iraq are from places like Dublin?
