yes we have a military, nothing to boost aobut, which i am happy about though!
defense froces is like the your Territorial army, mickey mouse part-timers(at least i think you call them the TA)
If any irish person wants to fight in a war(iraqi style war for example) they have to join the british army, were a neutral country. Our own irish army still do peace-keeping tours in Africa etc for the U.N so its not completey shit.
Also the Irish Rangers are considered to be one of the best special forces in the world.
But equipment wise(tanks etc) its a joke really. We dont need an army, not like we are a major world power.
Oh, sorry to hear about that squirelly! Plenty more fish in the sea. Never been to america, but San fran is always one of the cities i would most like. Seems the most liberal aswell.
Enjoy your trip occrider. Dont forget, put protection on that erection.
Never know what you might catch.
