This is the overseas forum, so Limerick does not count
It's, IMHO, a valid question, so how about a grown-up discussion?
Darfur does seem to be a contender for a peacekeeping/enforceing mission alright."We will hold out until our last bullet is spent. Could do with some whiskey"

Why would it be risky to send soldiers into a war zone.....
At recruitment ,did no one mention that it might be dangerous?"We will hold out until our last bullet is spent. Could do with some whiskey"

fighting for what?
Originally posted by tonyrdf View PostIts not my opinion that Irish troopas shouldn't be sent there, I think that it would be a great opertunity for us to put or infantry skills to the test. Its just that the govt wouldn't have the b*lls to commit them.
Which side would Irish troops be fighting on?

Have I done something to people on this board?? I ask because this is not the first time someone has taken the meaning of my posts out of all proportion.
I've been a member for a long time but I hardly ever post because I always have that niggling feeeling that someone is going to try and make a fool out of me.
By the way soldiers should expect to be sent into conflict zones.... its the nature of their job.Last edited by tonyrdf; 22 March 2007, 20:15.Im Ron Burgendy??
