Peackeeping - Ireland not listed?
« on: June 05, 2004, 04:34:42 am »
In a recent TIME magazine survey of world peacekeeping troop deployments Ireland was not listed.

Considering The Ukraine (at 2% of total deployments) was listed - and Ireland has over 800 personnel deployed (incl many AC personnel) - I find it strange that we were not even mentioned in the survey '<img'>

How could anyone not like the Red Arrows!? I have nothing against the RAF or the British for that matter. I just hate seeing Ireland coloured in the Union Jack. Like in the film 'Eurotrip'. Disgraceful... 1916 people!!!
