1st for normalfags OUT

First for fuck blisters

WHO DE FUCK SAID HEEMPOSTING IS CANCER

Normalfag Brit-shitters out!

I did

>he thinks I'll leave

Terrible edition

Not Irish in the slightest

>I explained precisely why that is.
No, you said the reason I gave in defence of smoking weren't acceptable, and then went and gave those same reasons as to why drinking is acceptable.
>knacker lifestyle you lead.
I only wear tracksuits when I am playing sports or running (with my terrible tar filled lungs) mind you.

Just like you!

Shit edition.

>/brit/s think they can trigger people by playing up their lack of intelligence

Okay.

>and then went and gave those same reasons as to why drinking is acceptable.
Well, you clearly can't read if you think that. Alcohol is less harmful if consumed at the same rate you recommend smoking and provides more tangible social benefits. Anybody can initiate a conversation, sustaining one is difficult. Alcohol helps with both, but particularly the latter.

Is that Nordie that wanted to join the army about?

Imagine being a bird. Really attracted to a nice tall Irish lad. He's everything you looked for in a man ever, funny , charismatic , tall, goodlooking. You go on a lovely date to the Odeon Cinema where you both see the 4th Night at the museum movie. Some kisses are shared in the darkness of the Cinema. It is an intense moment between two people full of want and lust. He takes you for a pint or two and then a long romantic walk home. You lead him up the stairs; romantic kissing ensues, he grabs you, tells you how much he longs for your every ounce of flesh. He undresses you slowly, approving of your pink lingerie that you bought especially for him. He finally gets your underwear down. Pushing his length inside your warm, hot flesh as he looks in your eyes and says "I'm irish but i sometimes post on /brit/ haha"

>provides more tangible social benefits
Does it now?

Stop trying to make this a thing

...

Yes.

>Odeon Cinema
Stopped reading right there lad.

Army's for fags

Fight me

But you've only tried it once, presumably before choking half to death and being mocked by the people that gave you it thereby developing your intense hatred.

Jesus was not a jew
atleast you got half of your sentence right

I fucking will

Aye here lad, what's the craic?

We're recruiting early next month mate

*malfunctions*

What branches? What level of fitness is expected? Worried ill not be fit enough

>again with the personal insults
So I should have kept at it until I got used to it? Stupid fucking idea.

Also, it's very easy to avoid choking when smoking - even I got that right on my first an only attempt.

Getting pretty tired of this discussion no desu.

I can only speak for the army lad but I reckon the Naval Service will take a few.

You need to do 20 pushups and 20 situps in 60 seconds and then run 1.5 miles in under 11mins40secs.

They can be pretty strict on form, especially the sit ups so have a look at this:

youtube.com/watch?v=5G_qvEcqL1g&ab_channel=DFMagazine

If you want an idea of what the training is like watch this on RTE:

rte.ie/player/ie/show/recruits-30003533/10608442/

stop being bourgeois

>You need to do 20 pushups and 20 situps in 60 seconds and then run 1.5 miles in under 11mins40secs.
Jesus christ the army really is for fags

And here's a sample test of what you could be doing lad

defenceforces.cut-e.com/home/

That's just the bare minimum lad, Recruit training is designed to get everybody to the standard of fitness required

Sign yourself up then lad.

Thanks lad. Mere I've had a partially collapsed lung a few years ago. Never needed surgery since it just healed on its own. Any idea if this will disqualify me from being an Officer?

Will check back in half an hour lad, have stuff to do

As far as I know you should be grand mate

>partially collapsed lung
How'd that happen?

You use to call me on my cell phone

If the Irish Rangers were included in this, how would their version of events play out?

>>again with the personal insults
Ah stop yer whinging, you called me a knacker and it really hurt my feelings.

i doubt they're that much better than most armies countries forces

Anyone know the name of that song they always play in Tesco? It was repetitive but had a woman singer and not as many lyrics.

>everything goes perfectly until they run out of bullets

>everything goes perfectly until they run out of bullets
But the SAS only needed 2 bullets.

I didn't read the comic fully before posting.

It should be:

>Mission complete, only one round expended.
>team could only afford one round

>Mission complete, only one round expended.
>team could only afford one round
That's a rip-off of the SASR one.

It's an tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EscalatingPunchline

Unless you want to say that

A) Ireland's military is better funded than Australia's
B) Ireland's elite would FAIL their mission

You got me there, user.

That said, I am curious as to how effectively the Irish military would actually handle a terrorist hostage situation.

post feet

>The mecha animation in the Rebuild films
Muh dick

I think I remember hearing they were no less skilled than the likes of bigger neutral countries' and that they did well in some international special forces competition.

They are somewhat inexperienced though.

Memes aside, being from a cheapskate small country probably doesn't hurt the ARW that much because special forces are meant for long-range behind-enemy-lines stuff, and also in this "breach and clear" hostage rescue/kidnapping paradigm, you don't generally need super-high-tech stuff to do any of those things. Having airstrikes to back you up is like a "get out of jail free" card if there's too many enemies, and advanced stealthy helicopters and the like are like "crutches" for getting to the mission area quicker and easier; in the past they'd have to reach the area overland. Hell, the US used horses as late as the Afghan war, using technicals isn't obsolete anymore.

The real areas where Ireland's lack is most keenly felt is in numbers and firepower. The army's alright for stopping coups and small insurgencies, but not for putting up any kind of fight against another state.

Really makes you think...

...

Appreciate the heads up lad, but I've no idea how to go about trying out. Do i need to sign a form before hand or just land down at the specified time?
Doctor said its just to do with my build, apparently i have long lungs in proportion to the rest of my body. Most common in teenaged males he says

You need to stop Yanks using Irish facilities

Apparently they want to call Parnell street "Chinatown". Double heresy.

We need to start milking them for more resources in exchange for it.
Though desu I'd rather we get our military stuff from the likes of Sweden and Germany.

Why did Ireland get its shit fucked so hard during the big recession?

who?
that's outrageous

Need a source to confirm if i should be seething with rage
Socialism

Can you not just apply online?

It's "talk".
Didn't find out about it on the internet but here's something from the first google results page.

thejournal.ie/chinatown-parnell-street-2935242-Aug2016/

Akshully it's "democratic-socialism".
Meaning the government can funnel money into whichever insufficient number of baskets it wants, but it will only do at the whims of the largest financial interests, internal and external.
Worst of both worlds.

my sides

>Socialism
Rorke pls

I'm looking but the silly bastards never advertise it when they're doing a recruitment drive. I don't even know if they're looking for cadets or regular recruits

rorke? also hes right

Come ret us hear you terr how you srandered great Parnerr
When you thought him werr and trury persecuted
Where are the sneers and jeers that you roudly ret us hear
When our readers of Sixteen were executed

>Though desu I'd rather we get our military stuff from the likes of Sweden and Germany.

What does Sweden produce aside from the Saab-39 Gripen?

kek

rorke is some slang they use on /brit/pol I think
probably Sup Forums /brit/ too

lad Ireland is a liberal capitalist economy in every sense. famous low tax, low spending etc.

...

From a quick look on their website I can only see roles for naval officers.
>mfw refugees can apply to become naval officers

except it wasn't low spending up until the recession

>What does Sweden produce aside from the Saab-39 Gripen?
Artillery, large calibre guns, man-portable anti-armor weapons, submarines, small to mid scale surface vessels.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_spending#As_a_percentage_of_GDP

Even now Ireland is miles behind most Yuro countries

Nowhere near the Nordic social-democracies

>Nordic social-democracies
funny how the nordic countries say they aren't that.

what the fuck are you on about?
>Sweden 51.2%
>Ireland 48.1
Hardly that much behind

B O F O R S

Also these
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Defence_companies_of_Sweden

They make good infantry anti-tank weapons and light-medium armoured vehicles. If Ireland's too small and cheapskate to buy proper tanks (which might be of questionable value, we should definitely stock up on a fleet of vehicles that would harass and annoy even a large (ie: the UK's) military, and give infantry the means to do the same.

They're pretty good too, their product doesn't suffer for being produced for protectionist purposes like France's or definitely Italy's does.

>we should definitely stock up on a fleet of vehicles that would harass and annoy even a large (ie: the UK's) military
No armored land vehicle short of a tank could even pose a threat to a Challenger 2 though.

> their product doesn't suffer for being produced for protectionist purposes like France's or definitely Italy's does.
Which is odd, because Italy's materiel has always been decent if not outstanding in any notable way.

France's stuff tends to be better, but very niche.

love this song

I think it's pretty clear they're social democratic

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welfare_state#Three_worlds_of_the_welfare_state

I was looking at the tax burden percentage

The government has taken on bailouts and loans which accounts for the difference

Under normal conditions, the Irish economy is very liberal

I remember the Carl Gustaf from Battlefield Bad Company 2

Good gun, good game

>No armored land vehicle short of a tank could even pose a threat to a Challenger 2 though.
It's the weaponry and tactics that count. Ireland's military wouldn't be relying on going toe-to-toe, we'd use smart ambush and hit-and-run tactics along with other defensive tactics
We wouldn't be expecting a vehicle to take a hit from a 120mm round, we'd be expecting it to not get hit. Meanwhile we would be counting on our forces to hit it, tank-destroyer style. We needn't even use a vehicle necessarily, just deploy some entrenched/camouflaged infantry with rockets (which we sorely lack - no entrenched one and too few Javelins).

Maybe something like this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_(missile)

And if that fails, there's always mines.

It was posted here when the Irish army used it in the Congo in the 1960s. Back when Ireland's military was no more "up to date" than it is now. I remember reading how a foreign observer thought they'd walked right out of WW1, and by the shirt on that guy it would appear so, though the CG was a good design and cutting-edge back then, but it's too small and too old to deal with a proper tank.

It's a race back and forth between counter-measure and "baffle". I hear the Russians have the best hand-held missiles nowdays, the RPG 29 and 30, with tandem warheads.
Of course you'd need to hit the tank with a good many of these to properly disable it, and it would be unlikely to be travelling alone, so it would require tactical skill to specifically defeat tanks.

Fucking paranoid about my elbow.

>Ireland's military wouldn't be relying on going toe-to-toe, we'd use smart ambush and hit-and-run tactics along with other defensive tactics
>We wouldn't be expecting a vehicle to take a hit from a 120mm round, we'd be expecting it to not get hit. Meanwhile we would be counting on our forces to hit it, tank-destroyer style
Such a strategy is significantly weakened if your enemy has complete air superiority and superior numbers.

Who the fuck made that abomination?

/k/ I believe - it's years old.

There are no vacancies for naval officers advertised as far as I see. I reckon they don't let you apply until the drive actually starts

Has anyone here ever met a Jew?

>complete air superiority
We'd have no hope without at least preventing the bomber from getting through, unless we retreated to fortress-cities USSR-style and tried to force an "international humanitarian crisis" to get the EU to turn on England.
That's why we'd have to get a VERY strong ground-based AA network across the whole country, and possibly a small fleet of advanced interceptor fighters.

>superior numbers.
The strategy has to be designed around that, and as strategy goes, ambush/defensive positioning is one that's designed to counter greater numbers.
The border is a fairly confined space in strategic terms, good enough for defensive purposes. The area is also not particularly important for Ireland's continued political/manpower/morale contribution to the fight, and gives us space to tactically retreat through, whereas for them, their second city is likely to fall to an Irish offensive very quickly and be a base of manpower, and Tyrone and Fermanagh place them in an encircle-able salient from which manpower and/or behind-the-lines attackers can be sourced from in the continued attack on the unionist counties, which would hypothetically place them within a narrow, crowded band, which would be a target-rich-environment easy pickings for artillery (thermobaric MLRS, anyone?), compared to the sparsely-populated rural zones that they would be attacking through if they took the offensive.

Ireland's coastal borders present a problem, but coastal landings are difficult, particularly if they do not result in any strategic benefit. Opening up a second front in the republic would be trickier for the UK than for Ireland, unless there was insufficient reserves posted in the south and its coastal cities.
An Inchon-style landing in Donegal/retaking of Derry could provide a surprise upset if the IDF over-extended itself and found difficulty in crushing a pocket in Belfast though.

Yes (No)

I just wandered in here, fellas.

>unless we retreated to fortress-cities USSR-style
Well we certainly don't have those.
>That's why we'd have to get a VERY strong ground-based AA network across the whole country
Never gonna happen.
>and possibly a small fleet of advanced interceptor fighters.
RAF would annihilate it.
>tried to force an "international humanitarian crisis" to get the EU to turn on England.
That's probably our best bet - although, I imagine the EU would support us regardless if the UK invaded. We would just need to hold out long enough for the EU to get its shit together.

>ambush/defensive positioning is one that's designed to counter greater numbers.
Defensive positioning is not going to work without significant infrastructure (e.g. hardened bunkers) due to the lack of contested airspace.

>their second city is likely to fall to an Irish offensive very quickly
Not a chance, especially if the Brits have amassed forces in the border areas.

> target-rich-environment easy pickings for artillery
Artillery is useless if there are planes in the sky.

>but coastal landings are difficult
But the Brits are amongst the best in the world at them, and the close proximity to Great Britain would allow for complete air cover, thus making any attempt to repulse a landing impossible.
