    No the only thing that they done in Lebannon was eat and drink all round them and and talk a load of ************************ and wind when they came home about all the fighting they done when they were in the Leb

    One of these clowns spells hezbollah in a way that it is obvious he has never seen it in print, tip try more reading and less fox and sky news, and the other clown writes a sentence that is unreadable.

    There are 47 Irish soldiers lying in their graves to testify that they did a lot more than eat, drink & be merry over there.

    My dad served there 3 times. His general comments when I aksed him about it was that the irish were well regarded but were mostly ineffectual, stuck between two shelling factions. But i can tell you it was'nt a jolly, it was hard and often terrifying work - especially as they weren't allowed engage. People should be a little more sensible with their comments.

    Big deal? We employ these men and women to do their duty to the Irish State and unfortunately some have given their lives in that cause. That is the greatest sacrifice a citizen can give and we do them just reverence.
