Nov 18, 2008 - fair enough, but youre doing to opposite of defending britian, youre in fact making it more dangerous by creating more conflicy ands more enemies.After youre troops shot dead 17 civilians on bloody sunday every young irish lad queued up to join the IRA, and now the same thing will happen in the middle east.
irishrebelalert Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - that is the most mentaly retarded thing ive ever heard, its like saying youre against murder but you support the murderer.Cop on to youreself, if 1 english person were shot or blown up there would be outrage and international media hype, whereas dozens of afghans and iraqis die weekly and its just acceped by the likes of arrogant smug fuckers like you

Nov 18, 2008 - ooh mate. you're not doing anything to dispel the nasty stereotype of the 'irish temper' are you? let's break this down piece-by-piece shall we? "arrogant smug fuckers like you" - i believe you started it. i fail to see how soldiers get a fair chance to say "you know what captain, i don't fancy killing today". indeed, i wouldn't join the army because i'm politically aware. but i can't say i'd call a brainwashed 18 year old a murderer, whether 'us' in iraq or 'you' in derry. it's not their fault.

Nov 18, 2008 - Actually no, the government hates the English, they are trying to make us all into this shitty multicultural society full of foreign cunts.When a Brit dies in the middle east the most media coverage they get is a short headline on the BBC at the bottom of the screen.Also,i know im doing the opposite etc,abd i hate the government and i hate being the worlds policemen, but somebodys gotta be in the army.Also,afghanistan is nothing like it was in Ireland, trust me.

Nov 18, 2008 - what are you talking about?
irishrebelalert Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - youre not the worlds policeman, youre the worlds gangster, most of the trouble spots in the world today are as a result of youre colonial fuck up of a past, or of youre foreign policy in the last 45 years

Nov 18, 2008 - did he killed people in 1:31 min ?
gferrie123 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - no, he fired so he could look in safely, if anyone had been hiding there they would either have been hit or forced to get their heads down. Simply walking over and looking down a hole without firing into it first is simply asking to be shot in the face. If there had been a casualty in the hole he would have reported it to his section commander.

Nov 22, 2008 - John Moore is one of the bravest men I have ever seen.
Urinesauce Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Look mate, i could have a huge debate with you. But i can't type it all in here. For one, i certainly have never raped an Afghan woman, or an Irish woman, one because im not yet old enough to be sent to war,and 2 because im a human and i would never do that.A minority of the British army would likely do it, but in ever society theres weirdos.2ndly, our government are tyrannical, i joined the army to protect Britain, not invade everywhere, its my governments fault,they are cunts.
