Mary Malone’s 28-year-old son, Lance Corporal Ian Malone, was shot dead by a sniper near the southern Iraqi town of Basra on April 6, 2003.

Good.

You are a cowardly sad excuse for a human being, more to be pitied than reviled.[/quote:2ztc0cpq]
Death is too good for 'Irish' British army recruits.

You didn't answer my question though. Are you a squaddie? Irish?

Good.

I bet you would not have the balls to say that to her face. You complete waste of space.

I bet I would.

Callous c*nt! No thoughts for the poor mother I see! Ar$ewipe!

People like this Ian Malone disgrace us as a people for 'taking the Queen's shilling'. They're the c*nts, as you put it.[/quote:2ztc0cpq]

LOLLERZ @ the outrage over this. While I strongly disagree with both wars, Irish soldiers have always honoured the people of Ireland at times of war. If they feel that it is a fight worth fighting then it is there business, as I've just stated in another thread I would not hesitate to serve under the British flag for a cause I thought was worth fighting.

I assume all the English posters on here spouting about how great the English army is and what jolly heroes its soldiers are and how the irish are all cowards etc. etc. are just on here for the wind up??

You can't seriously expect Irish posters to agree with this bollox? A few "uncle toms" aside, of course...

Irish soldiers honour the people of Ireland by defending Ireland.

I can make an exception for WW2 as it was a fight between barbarism and (flawed) democracy. The lesser of two evils.
(And I do support an EU military force - for collective defence.)

But for an Irishman to join the British army today is indefensible. You swear an oath to serve a foreign country and its interests. With no overriding issues at stake like in WW2.
Don't tell me that British Army is in Iraq defending liberty..
And the war in Afghanistan is for what exactly? The US should get the %%%% out and let Afghans run their own country.

At a personal level I can sympathise with any mother who has lost a son. But the guy *chose* to join the British Army which was engaged in several dodgy wars at the time.
If he didn't know that then he should have.
If all he cared about was the excitement of "soldiering" then I suppose he got what he was looking for.. The trouble is that the fuzzy-wuzzies sometimes shoot back..

I actually hate this type of specimen more than your average English squaddie. They should be shunned, isolated, named and shamed, stripped of citizenship, and maybe more.

Why?
'cause they don't all join the local units of the RIRA instead?

The British Empire was built in part on the backs of Irish soldiers, who represented a large chunk of the British armed forces in the 19th century...
And they weren't forced, far from it.

While their choice isn't exactly ethical (British army are terrorists as pointed out), you can't say "strip the soldiers of their citizenship"...

They weren't forced? What were the other choices open to a young Irishman in the 19th century (aside from starvation)?

here we go again...

little irelanders (aka The Thought Police) telling the rest of us how we should act, what we should like, what we should hate, what we should think, what we should follow, what we should have allegiance to, how we should live our lives, how we shouldn't live our lives, telling us what makes a good irishman, what doesn't make a good irishman.

sick.

anyway, God Bless all the those soldiers and heres to them all coming home safely. None of the thought police on this forum are half the men these fellows are.

I'm sorry to btreak it to you Alliance but;

1 - being a Unionist is totally incompatible with being Irish.

2- joining the English army is incompatitible with being Irish.

Real Irish men serve only Ireland and the Irish army.

I couldn't give a f-u-c-k about these judases in English uniform terrorising 3rd world countries.

F-u-c-k them.

What about all those [color=#FF0000]other[/color] soldiers? The Russians in Chechyna, the Chinese in Tibet, the Sudanese in Darfur?

Volunteering to be a soldier is making yourself into a lethal weapon.
Volunteering to be a soldier in a foreign army is making yourself into a lethal weapon at the disposal of a foreign state.
Unless there is some mitigating circumstance (like in WW2) they deserve to be described as mercenaries and are not worthy or respect or honour.
