Poland to send 1,000 new troops to Afghanistan
Announcement comes in response to NATO pleas for reinforcements

...“Poland will increase its contingent in Afghanistan. We will send 1,000 additional troops from February,” Defense Ministry Spokesman Leszek Laszczak said.

“We know this will be a dangerous operation. Poland understands that NATO will have to be more active in Afghanistan. We are well aware of that, and that is why we decided to increase the size of the force.”


Thank God somebody in Europe 'gets it'.

Forza Polski! I'm going to find my buddy Martin and buy him a beer.

Mother is so proud, she always said the Poles do so much and never get recognized.
