What are you talking about
I am not american

i am not adverse to visual media noting different media sources can be more impactful and reach a different audience or provide a welcome relief every once in a while.

also I dont mind being informative from time to time. This is direct from the Polish Gov Site:

Poland - United Nations

As a founding member of the UN, Poland has been participating in international efforts to restore and maintain peace for over half a century. In 1953 Poland was invited to participate in the International Commission for Supervision and Control monitoring peacekeeping on the Korean Peninsula. Since then Poland has also participated in other international peace commissions in the Far East (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia), delegating about 3000 representatives.

Units of the Polish Army have participated in UN peacekeeping operations since October 1973. The Special Unit of the Polish Army served then in the UNEF II (United Nations Emergency Force II) operation in Egypt. Two other Polish Military Contingents also participated in UN peacekeeping operations in the Middle East: PMC in the UNDOF operation (United Nations Disengagement Observer Force) in the Golan Heights from June 1974 to October 2009 and PMC in the UNIFIL operation (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) from April 1992 to November 2009. Over the last 40 years Polish Army units have also participated in UN peacekeeping operations in Namibia, Cambodia, the former Yugoslavia, Chad and Polish military observers were in Kuwait, Tajikistan, Georgia, Western Sahara, Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Liberia and Sudan.

The Polish Armed Forces returned to the UNIFIL mission in 2019. It was one of the priorities during the non-permanent membership of the United Nations Security Council in 2018-2019. However our involvement is different than previously. The core of the contingent is a motorized company serving in the western sector, the so-called Blue Line - the border demarcation between Lebanon and Israel.

And this is direct from the Irish Gov site (im not comparing im being informative):

Ireland - United Nations

Ireland has a proud tradition of participation in UN and UN-supported peacekeeping missions, both civilian and military. Ireland is proud of being the only nation to have a continuous presence on UN and UN-mandated peace support operations since 1958, with Irish peacekeepers highly respected internationally. Traditional Peacekeeping. The Government decides on a case-by-case basis whether, when and how to commit Defence Forces personnel to peacekeeping operations. The ‘triple lock’ of UN authorisation, Government approval, and Dáil approval must be satisfied before the Defence Forces can deploy. Our largest deployment currently is with the UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon (UNIFIL). We also have Defence Forces troops deployed in the Golan Heights, Syria, Israel, Jordan, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Kosovo, Mali and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Since 1978, a number of Defence Forces officers have also served in different positions at UNHQ, New York where we currently provide two officers to the UN's Department of Peace Keeping Operations (DPKO).

In the past 15 years members of the Defence Forces have served with a number of missions which have been authorised by the UN and led by the EU or NATO. Senior appointments held by Irish Officers are symbolic of the professionalism of the Irish Defence Forces and the high regard they continue to be held in: From 2007-2009, Lieutenant General Pat Nash commanded the EU operation EUFOR Chad and was awarded France's highest accolade for distinction in civilian or military valour as a result. Ireland acted as a Framework Nation of KFOR, with Brigadier General Gerry Hegarty commanding the Multi National Task Force Centre in Kosovo (KFOR) from 2007-2008. In 2016, Major General Michael Beary was appointed Head of Mission and Force Commander of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).

Irish experts in these fields are currently deployed in the following missions:
EUCAP Sahel Niger, EUCAP Somalia, EULEX Kosovo, EUAM Georgia, EUAM Ukraine, EUBAM Libya, EUPOL COPPS (Palestinian Territories), EUCAP Sahel Mali

An Garda Síochána have also proudly contributed to both EU and UN civilian missions since 1989, when members were deployed to UNTAG, the UN Transition Assistance Group Mission in Namibia. Gardaí are currently serving in Cyprus with UNFICYP, and in Kosovo with EULEX Kosovo.

finally the population of ireland is quite small. england invaded us as everyone knows, but other then that we have quite a large footprint around the world as we invariable emigrate (historically for a variety of reasons, none of which shower our government with praise) to such places as america, australia, england and what not.
