not irish, a regiment of the british army made up of protestants from the north of ireland. they are offensive to any right mined irish man and were disbanded and reformed along with the UDR to become the royal irish regiment which is even more offensive.they are not to be confused with the irish ranger wing which is a genuine irish army regiment.

a bonefide special forces regiment of the irish army, no other countries special forces come near to their level of commitment or professionalism. they have died in the line of duty but not in some american made conflict over oil, they have died in the peace keeping role which ireland dedicates itself to within the UN. the sad thing about the ranger wing is the irish gave the world modern battle techniques and covert tatics and they have to train with other countries units such as the american delta force, they should be training them.
today the irish ranger wing arrested a dictator but did'nt get any international thanks for it because they arent some trumped up unit like the rest of the worlds special forces
