Excerpt:

Work is under way to make all men in Poland undergo military training, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said.

In a speech to the Polish parliament, Tusk said the government aimed to give full details in the coming months.

Efforts are being made to "prepare large-scale military training for every adult male in Poland," he told the Sejm.

"We will try to have a model ready by the end of this year so that every adult male in Poland is trained in the event of war, so that this reserve is comparable and adequate to the potential threats."

In short, Poland is preparing for a general mobilization.

Frankly, I think that is wise for every country.  I believe everyone here in the USA should serve too.  Men and women.

I think over the long term, it fosters greater patriotism.  And nothing like having a total population trained to some degree in waging war effectively.  One never knows what threats might present themselves in the future.

Europeans will not fight for the EU.  Poland gets it, because they were under Russian occupation for years.

Amen. I don't despair for me- I despair for my friend's children and grandchildren and their future great grandchildren.
