re. the Poles, whom you seem to disparage.

Maybe you should check out their record as allies. They sent troops to Afghanistan - right ? How many Russians there ?

More seriously - check out what the Poles contributed in WW2. Over 100 experienced Polish pilots managed to escape to Britain in 1939/40, without their augmentation of the 500 mostly-inexperienced young RAF pilots the Battle of Britain would have been lost. It was touch-and-go anyway - without those Polish pilots, most of whom died in action, Hitler would have won.

Period.

Maybe its because I am ex-RAF that I hold the Poles in higher esteem than you seem to.
