The IRA, a guerilla group consisting of several thousand members, took up one of the largest imperial forces in the world. With success. History memes once again whitewashing history.

    I love memes like this being made by folks who have never really been in a gunfight, let alone a guerrilla operation or war. The way those armchair historians and armchair generals talk is like someone claiming they mastered swimming while never stepping in water.

    Fun fact: IRA methods were so effective, British military studied and copied a bunch of it when preparing their “commandos” during WW2.
