Yes, the skinny is true. We are sending more troops to Poland, in addition to Reaper drones.  Fort Trump is not going away, no matter what Some People think.

Plans include a new combat training center in Drawsko Pormoskie, with more facilities to be built in the future.

Fine by me.  Oktoberfest always has great food. The Munich (Deutschland) Oktoberfest starts September 21 this year, There’s other stuff, too. If I can find a video of Polish  and US tankers on maneuvers, I’ll post it.

Keep your NATO friends close, and your enemies closer.

There’s a Polish lady in my office, she sure is nice and very pretty too! I think from what I hear about her country, I will visit one day when the finances are right.

Do it mate, Poland is beautiful country with beautiful people worth visiting.

I love their food and my Polish wife😋

No videos on big guns or missile batteries firing? You would think that a Combat Brigade would have at least one of each.

Maybe the Poles will appreciate the protection that American Blood and Money will give them more than the Frogs and Krauts did.

Marcin

We do appreciate, we really do. And that is why we always stood arm by arm with American soldiers in any conflict when people’s freedom was in danger, ‘cos we do really understand what means to lost freedom.

Lets take a pole to see if it’s worth sending over our troops.

That’s p-o-l-l, poll.
P-o-l-e is a long stick in the ground used as a landmark or to dance around. Are you a dancer?
Sister Mary, where’s your ruler?

Can you say, “Zimne Piwo?”🍻

MI Ranger

Tach, prosze dwa zimne Piwo!

Kamil

You should say “poproszę dwa zimne Piwa”

That photo reminds me of standing around a rocket crater while some louie explains how to tell where it came from.
Thanks for the belly laugh.

Reminds me of neighbors thoughts of us they sent to us in the middle of the night course in our case, anyone with brass or more than 4 stripes ever showed up to look, just sat on their ass in their office and devised ways to make their area safer as us lowlifes were expendable.

I read that earlier.
Such an impressive leader and selfless Soldier.
RIP SSgt Ollis, your mission is accomplished.
That such men have lived…..

Wow, I’m a long-time lurker from Poland and I had to do a double take when I saw my native language in the title. Dzień dobry (or dobry wieczór, as it’s the evening now) from Warsaw.

The Stranger

We had this conversation before…so what should we call this facility?
Camp Pulaski?
Camp Kosciusko?
Or perhaps Camp Sobieski?
Thoughts?

How about naming after the Polish Lancers that assaulted the Nazi armor during the invasion.

As I recall, they didn’t have anything else available.

The Stranger

Well, I chose the first two because of their contributions to the cause during the Revolutionary War. The last one was a big “fuck you” to jihadis and those double-dealing Turks.

CCO

Camp Krzyzewski?

Messkit

Camp Wojtek. Every Army has it’s sacred event, person, or battle story. Wotjek is all of those.

The Stranger

Are you referring to the bear 🐻 from World War 2?

Messkit

Yup. My Dad heard the story from his brother, who managed to get into Poland after the war to recover family heirlooms (which were long gone). A little research by myself, showed the tale to be true, even after filtering out all the Soldierly embellishment.

Sapper3307

BOOM!

MI Ranger

since it is in Poland probably just Oboz Atut!
