This US Govt video seeks to benefit from Ireland’s national holiday by promoting its army. Ireland is a neutral country. Fundamentally this is highly disrespectful to Ireland. There is nothing okay about this video.

Today 01.01.24, Ireland is 51 years into European Union membership. Its population has grown by 2 million. Ireland was 51 years into Union with Britain in 1852. It was emerging from famine. Its population plummeted by 2 million from 1845-1851 through hunger and emigration.
