IRA vs the Taliban - who would win? US TV goes in search of the answer....*cringe*

IRISH RAIL

I Remember reading they had 2 flamethrowers but would you strap a load of petrol onto your back in something you got from libia??
Id say they were **** scared to use them in case they went up with it.
it should really be
IRA
Barret light 50
timer carbomb
digger bomb
mk 10 mortar and ak/aks

and for taliban
AK
rpg
man with big belt
boeing 737

OK-Cancel-Apply

Army-like movement and hand signals, special forces-like hand to hand combat, ingenuity, quick thinking, balls of steel.... no doubt there are some who will be furiously fapping to that video!

In the eyes of most Americans, the IRA are either history or a pension fund!

I wouldn't have thought that type of passive-aggressiveness is bound to strike fear deep into their hearts, but my advanced computer simulations show that it might actually work:

BlitzKrieg

right

finally *cough* got my hands on the episode, I shall now sit down and watch it over pizza and try and understand the logic of the slingshot.

expect further updates soon.

BlitzKrieg

Well first.

you'll be happy to know all IRA members are 5' 11, 180 pounds and wear no armour. The taliban is only 5' 9 and 160 pounds.

This must make it so much easier to spot terrorists. We could replace metal detectors in airports with height and weighting scales to find them.

also the opening description of the IRA was *Expert Urban Geurilla warriors who fought for Irish Independence*

BlitzKrieg

also here is micheal collins *grand nephew* http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3086322/


Oh wiow, this next bit even pissed me off slightly.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh................. well they didn't mention anything about Ireland not winning the war of independence in the clip given or the longer ones on youtube.

BlitzKrieg

yeah its in the full episode. They introduce and give a brief history of both sides and they start of by saying the IRA was founded after the Irish lost the war of independence and the British divided up the island. Not explaining why they divided the island if they won ???


It also gives explanation to the *IRA flamethrower* in the full episode, it seems it was a Russian flamethrower smuggled in and used once in 1989 on a british checkpoint to burn two soldiers. Hence why they have it as our mid range weapon.

in theory you should be able to watch full episodes here http://www.spike.com/show/31082 officially. But they have a tendency to not play.

I remember as a chungfella watching a news report about a haul of IRA arms the RUC found and there was a flame thrower in it.

They used one once in an attack in the 80's....Derryard.

How would the yanks feel if we made a progam called; 2 Boeing 747s vs. The World Trade Centre.

It could be "da bomb" but it has to be said that it's a high flyin' idea. If the whoel thing went up in smoke, their ratings would be domolished. It could take off though.

You mean like in Gibraltar?

When supermen of the SAS shot 3 unarmed people. Brave boys now aren't they. BTW, have you found Capt. Nairac yet ?

Word to the wise - Northern Ireland is still part of the United Kingdom.
And British troops are still garrisoned in Northern Ireland.
The Union Jack flys over Belfast City Hall.

But with the growing nationalist population, it's only got one or two decades existence - and then the orange state is gone forever

And.......the dead of Gibraltar are still resident in Milltown.

And....and the shoppers in Frizzell's fish shop on the Shankill Road are still resident with the dead fish :)

Killing those members of the public was braver than what the SAS did, yeah?
