Their music may be good, CW5 Jack Cardwell, but you won’t find me celebrating the Saint Patrick's Battalion, even just for fun. They were “a unit of 175 to several hundred (accounts vary) immigrants and expatriates of European descent who fought as part of the Mexican Army against the United States in the Mexican–American War of 1846–48.
