I wonder why Poles do it... but maybe it is good for the guys to get more training. I am quite divided on military spending, I think military budgets are overblown.

John and All - about NATO summit. The US committed 1000 troops in Poland. I actually agree that some international troops may be needed due to Russia's past aggression towards Ukraine. Russia may try to do the same and try to connect Kaliningrad with the rest of the country, so it is better to be alert.
My natural pacifistic nature need to fight with a reality of this world.
The pictures of Polish military equipment is good!
