Two Irish Guys Got Hammered Drunk And Somehow Ended Up On The Front Lines Fighting ISIS

Quick: what’s the dumbest thing you’ve ever signed up to do during a night of heavy drinking? Agreed to run a 5K the next morning? A tattoo of Captain Crunch on your ass? Getting married to that stripper you just met?

Don’t answer that. These two guys put your weak story to shame. They got so drunk they woke up on the front lines in Iraq fighting ISIS.

From The Mirror:

William Meara, 26, and Craig Reynolds, 24, were travelling across the Middle East for the past two months. A late night drinking session led to the pair befriending a Canadian freedom fighter who is part of the infamous Peshmerga military force.

“The next morning he decided he’d invite us out and try to get us out on to the front line,” Meara said. “We must have said something when we were out with him the night before and that’s how he got the idea.

The pair found themselves suited up, armed, and meeting with a commander on the front lines in a warzone.

Meara said he was trying to take pictures but “the lads were like ‘no stand back, this is serious.'”

The guys posted the whole story and pictures on their travel blog, which you can read here.

Look, we’ve all signed up for stupid stuff on a whim during a night of heavy drinking. What seems like an awesome idea in a warm wash of booze always comes crashing down in the harsh morning light of your killer hangover.

But to be completely honest, I can’t imagine doing anything differently. If I was out throwing back bottles with a bunch of Kurds in freaking Iraq, and one of them was like, “Do you want to go blow up some ISIS tomorrow morning?” I would pretty much immediately say “Hell yeah! Where’s the mortar at??? Fuck ISIS!”

In Meara’s own words, “it was the front lines of the only active warzone on the planet. When do you get to see that again?”

Bravely done, you crazy Irish bastards.

      My chapter gave bids to two Irish kids who were exchange students for the year in the US. They proved every Irish stereotype in the book to be true and definitely brought the most ROI of any kid we gave a bid to that year. Fuckers can drink like a fish.

    Tough to be Irish:

    “What’s your name?”, asked the teacher.
    “Mohammad,” he replied.
    “You’re in Ireland now,” replied the teacher, “So from now on you will be known as Mike.
    *Mohammad returned home after school. *
    “How was your day, Mohammad?”, his mother asked.
    “My name is not Mohammad. I’m in Ireland and now my name is Mike”.
    “Are you ashamed of your name? Are you trying to dishonor your parents, your heritage, your religion? Shame on you!”
    And his mother beat the shit out of him. Then she called his father, who beat the shit out of him again.
    The next day Mohammad returned to school. The teacher saw all of his fresh bruises.
    “What happened to you, Mike?”, she asked.
    “Well shortly after becoming an Irishman, I was attacked by two fucking Arabs.”

      Two Syrian refugees compete to see who can become the most English in three weeks.

      After three weeks the Syrians meet again at a McDonalds. The first Syrian makes his case for him being more English by saying: “Every day I have taken my son to football practice and my daughter to dance class. I’ve recently started going to the pub and drink pints of Carling and every Friday I have fish&chips. My favourite football team is Manchester United. Beat that!”

      The other Syrian simply replies with: “Get out of my country, you fucking paki cunt.”

    One of the most Irish things I’ve heard in a long time. Also if you guys didn’t click the link to the full blog please do it’s really worth the read. It shows a different side to the people over there as opposed to how the media portrays the people over there.

      Agreed, not even surprised that it was two Irish dudes. Haven’t read the full blog yet but I’m willing to bet they’re from County Cork and somehow related to the Boys of Kilmichael.

    Drunk Irish dudes on the front lines? I expect to hear about the Daesh-holes surrendering in a day or two.
