I'll try...as soon as you can show something that supports your claim on the number drafted.

I currently have no idea how many were drafted, I only know that they drafted a lot of them. I think i've looked it up before, but just for the sake of argument why don't we say it was 100 men who were drafted?

Do you have 100 statements from Drafted Irish men about how much they wanted to fight in this war against people who never did them any harm?

Never mind. I'm not sure anything can be learned from this because it's a far different opinion someone is liable to have *AFTER* it's all over, than they had when someone first forced them to the draft office.

Let's trade. I'll post one and then you post one. Here's one from an Irish soldier: Link

Now can you post one from one of those Irish immigrants grabbed right off the boat and forced into uniform?
