It's easier to go viral with something dumb than with something good. Seems like that's Marketing 101 nowadays.
Well that's a given, but come on it had humble beginnings ya drunkies
Also did the dude who was dancing pull out every urban move under the sun
How the fuck is the whip and nae nae Irish?

Happy White Man's Day!
*p.s. footage may or may not be of brown people getting killed on this holiest of white days*

More like a love letter that our bullets/rockets/Bombs remind of us your four leafed clovers as they penetrate and destroy
Army has regulation of getting fucked up, but it can still fuck you up!
What does it have to do with today's holiday!?
It would be like ISIS beheads someone and four leaf clovers come gushing out
Just wish a good holiday and move on, why show the military dominance and showing of rounds being launched covered up by ugly ass Adobe Effects
What does getting hammered have to do with the holiday? There's no need to pull a "true meaning of christmas" routine here. It's just a dumb video.
American military marketing is all based on this weird conception of war as a fun vacation or gap year or something where no one who matters actually gets killed.
Like, look at this shit
Like, look at this shit
This ain't 1914. They are white.
And even if you can argue that "Irish" aren't white. This is the US Army celebration of a very Irish-American relationship. And Irish-Americans are deemed white. The whitest in fact.
But save that debate for another thread.
It seems like a parody video in a film showcasing a tone deaf military power.
But it's real life, not art! Amazing!

The same thing that changed with Italians, Germans, a bunch of other groups, and currently some White Hispanics, they assimilated them into being White Americans
Lol me too. Twitter posts show up weird on my phone so I didn't realize it was a video until i saw your post. Just thought it was a joke about wearing green.
That video is legit insane. Wtf were there thinking????
I couldn't give a fuck about Irish Americans.
This is the Irish national holiday not "White people's day".
That can get fucked.
Funny thing about White Hispanics. There's some twitter business of Spaniards and Portuguese calling themselves Latinos and it's a low sizzle drama at the moment.
Then ask yourself why is the US military tweeting a celebration about an Irish phenomenon with a celebration of guns and missiles?
Do you see the Irish doing this?
From the US perspective St Paddys day is an Irish American day of drinking and debauchery. Which is what the tweet hints at. A day of frivolous merrily. So from their perspective, this St Paddy's Day is an Irish American celebration.
Either way. The tweet either makes no sense. Or is a celebration in a very wrong way. And from a predominantly white perspective.
Of course it makes no sense, we are a neutral non aggressive people. Its literal cultural appropriation for a killing machine.
Calling our national holiday white peoples day is offensive in the extreme to any Irish person, reducing us to our skin tone and removing any differentiation from our neighbours and i shouldn't have to explain why that's offensive and frankly fucking racist.
My highschool had a Jr. ROTC class and I swear people in that class were so unsettling, it was just filled with dudes who act like war is a video game and spout propaganda everywhere about how fun it is.
I wasn't posting from an Irish perspective.
It was an Irish-American one. Which is pretty much who the US Army is tweeting to.
