I can’t wait for the American-hating, pro-Putin catamites to show up to denounce these folks.
Good to see. Perhaps time to put a couple of brigades there on a semi-permanent basis.
Poland has seen occupation for most of the past 100 years (and much of the same before that) they know what communism and Nazism are all about and want nothing to do with them. It may be the only other country I would consider living in.
Reminds me of the photos of the liberation of Paris back in ‘44. You don’t see much of this nowadays.
The Poles have been worried, deeply worried that the Soviet age is about to be reborn, one stolen village at a time.
Obama must not have had a choice but to authorize out troops over there. Plus, he’s presently engaged in a bit of saber rattling with Putin, so the Poles are collateral winners.
Should we survive the war that our quota-boy president is sure to get us into, I truly hope that he will go to prison (one where he’ll be the mama to many) after his trial and sure conviction.
Hey Poles, you are good people. Just realize most of the troops are great guys. But the some of the top brass and the CIC will f^*$&^& you any time they get the chance.
‘Twas the Poles, I believe, who provided Turing with the first set of hints on the operation of the Nazi enigma machine.
For that alone they should be protected.
These troops will keep driving and be gone next week. Obama showed his true concern for the Poles when he scrapped the missile shield in ‘09. Obama has no fight him and Putin knows it.
Maybe the Poles remember KATYN.
Worthy heirs of the Poles in the Sabaton songs “40:1” and “Uprising”
Polish enthusiasm might have been in some part due to:

The US Ambassador to Poland, Stephen Mull, joined Polish soldiers in a parachute jump on Monday. Mull was attached to the captain of the 6th Airborne Brigade, Daniel Bobrowski. It was his first parachute jump. (Sept. 8)
Makes me want to spend vacation dollars there.
Different countries, different reactions.
In the Czech Republic, the government had to warn Anti-US protestors that throwing rotten fuit and eggs at the American APC’s could land them in jail.

Beautiful pictures. Thank-you for posting. I am very afraid for the Polish people.
Excellent.
The suffering of the Poles in the last century was incalculable.
I wish I could believe that they could count on us now.
Poles are willing to fight to keep their freedom just like Ukrainians are, that will always pee off the Russkies here at FR.
