My Uncle John was present on the attack as a Seargent in the Irish Army so proud of this man and his collogues at the railway station he won a Nobel peace award he always talked about his experiences as a Seargent there what a man he was he reminds me of RAMBO like the proud Irish men who served there great men of peace keeping and the dirty mercanys clouded their belief in saving innocent people God Bless All Men who served there what a story and a credit to the Irish Peacekeeping Force xxxxxx
I’ve always heard about the toughness of the Irish, and this campaign shows it. It also sounds like Ireland’s Vietnam. One of the men interviewed talked about being poorly outfitted and equipped, but making due with what they had. Anyway, welcome home, men.
Fatuous cliche, Name the politicians you blame and how exactly their egos were involved Your statement sounds like pacifism applicable to all wars,,,but only if you think there are no just wars or just causes,, Have you studied Congo history 1960 on, All these men were volunteers, Their cause was just,,,to prevent secession and preserve democracy, The cause failed,,but NOT through them
@@michaelboylan5308 I very much agree with you. People have watched this movie and believe that they have learned something about The Congo. It’s a nice tribute to the Irish U.N. soldiers but that’s all. They did well to come back alive. The copper mine owners won. Africa is today being plundered at a greater rate than ever before. There are new plunderers; .. the Chinese “Communist” Party. They will probably outdo Rhodes, King Leopold, etc, etc, in time.

Not exactly golf... until the codification of the rules in the late 19th century hurling matches more resembled a brawl than an organised sport. A hurl in a practiced hand makes a decent weapon in close quarters.
The British Empire as a "Basket junk" contingent of English, Irish, Welsh and Scottish ethnic groups are differentiating themselves apart from the French Empire and Belgium ethnic groups in political military contexts which resulting to British Empire declaring a playful war to kickoff the entire French, Belgium, Italian and few other White groups who subjecting to overcome the wars in the Africa continent, Asia continent and Europe continent for instance of Africa in particular the British Empire soldiers were anyhow grievant to combat the Italian Empire soldiers of Colonized Ethiopia, combat the Dutch soldiers of colonized Zimbabwe, combat the Belgium soldiers of colonized Congo, combat the French Empire soldiers of colonized nations of Africa continent and Asia continent nations of Boma, Thailand, Singapore, and etched ( "God bala British Empire Basket Junk") in the past and present centuries age.
It is a shame that good men had to die in a hole like that. While politicians stand there and tell then what a thing it was. I see nothing great in dying for a people that have no real desire to live like humans.
A very enjoyable programe. Thanks for uploading

The problem with "peace keeping" os that there has to be peace to keep.
7:40 .....He says "I used to sleep with a ? under my pillow " ?

''I used to sleep with a hurl under my pillow''..an hurl is the ash stick that is used to play the a popular Irish sport called Hurling.

Not golf - rather like hockey but worse.

Lacrosse would be the faster , but its not contact
