    A terrorist organisation, such as that to which this thread pertains, is not entitled to exist - let alone to spend many millions looking after their murderers.

    Who is or was Comdt. General Thomas Maguire? Was he a real General? Like General Patton or General McArthur? Or was he a makey up General? Appointed by a few of the “lads” after a good night on the lash. Please let us know.

    He was a genuine Commandant-General. He was also the last faithful TD to die.

    That's all that is required?! Where do I sign up?
    Or are you simply saying that these characteristics just don't disqualify you from being an officer?
    Ireland interests are best secured within a more dynamic EU. Vote YES to Lisbon.

    Officers though refer to him with respect as well. He is called Mr (what ever name) by officers of all ranks.

    The highest appointment for a WO1 is the Academy Sergeant Major at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. He is the senior RSM of the British Army.

    Your ridiculous posts reminds me of the story of the emporor and the pirate.

    The Emperor says to the Pirate: "How dare you think you can molest the seas!"
    The pirate replies: "I am but a man with a small boat, so you call me a pirate. Yet you have a vast navy, and they call you an Emperor? How dare you think you can molest the world!"


    Patton was just a thug who beat wounded soldiers and McArthur wanted to nuke China.

    Of course you will be producing evidence to substantiate your allegations won't you?

    And I am sure Comdt. General Maguire would have nuked the British, if he could have gotten his hands on a nuke. So, what’s your point?
