Irish tourist firms gives US veterans a free golfing vacation in Ireland

Nobody forced them to serve. Once you join the military you can rape and murder as many foreigners as you wish. Sickening waste of hard earned money.

Vince. I sincerely hope your swing with a club is better than your stroke with that big wide brush. Although I share your opinion on imperialist oil thieves etc, I seriously doubt any of these men and woman, are or were policy makers.

Vince you are every bit as bad as what you are trying to preach, to say plane crash, is sick.

How many children did they murder in the middle east ? Imperialist oil thieves, no better than the thugs that served in Vietnam. Ireland , screwed by the Germans again last night.Will the last person to leave the bankrupt 26 counties, please switch off the lights ? Hope their plane crashes. yanks out , the entire planet hated you in the ryder Cup, you bunch of losers. British imperialism bad, yankee invders, right on. Usual two faced hypocrisy.

I think that this is marvelous. Thanks Ireland.

Er... MarkMary73 made that great "Fair play to them!" comment at 05.11pm, not me.

LOL @ great post by Markmary73. Brilliant (Fairways play, anyone?)! I saw the Irish TV news feature on this story. Saw the men and women playing golf on Irish courses with artificial arms and legs. I think it’s a tribute to the medical people who helped them to a new life after the atrocities of war. The Med people should also be given free “Thank you” gifts, like this one for the wounded. GEF has a point; maybe the NI Govt and Tourism people could organise something similar for their wounded, apart from what some of them achieved in the Olympics? Don’t forget to include Rep of Ireland golf courses for them too.

Fair play to them!

Well deserved ,Enjoy

Heartwarming story. There can be no doubt that they're having a wonderful time. Great!

What about Northern Ireland soldiers wounded in Afganistan who fought with the US soldiers? What about a free holiday for them as well. After all it would cost less when they already live on the Island of Ireland.

Good move Irish tourism!Just got back from 30 days in my Isles! Hated to leave!

There was a time when Ireland needed help from America and still do. I am pleased we can give this journey to wounded soldiers. It is people with big hearts that makes Ireland a wonderful place. I sincerely hope this visit to Ireland has lifted your spirits.
