  1. No extra pay, and you’re sent abroad. What did they expect

  2. How many people here would fight for Ireland on what is virtuallly minimum wage?

    You’d want to be mental

  3. Anyone else feeling embarrassment? Because I’m not.

  4. Pay them properly for what they’re doing and you’ll get plenty of volunteers.

    It’s a story as old as armies themselves.

  5. Armies march on their stomach and wage slips – pay them properly.

  6. Good. The government should be fucking ashamed of themselves.

  7. I had a mate in the army. He said you never volunteer for anything. But you get voluntold anyway.

  8. An underfunded military isn’t taking part in expeditionary operations? Who would’ve thought
