All the troopers from Poland I have met are zealots about supporting the US.
They know their existance as a nation is pinned to ours, and they understand the promise of what America represents.
I'd hate to have them pissed off at me, that's for sure.

RIP, those Russian Helo’s are death traps. They have straps on the pedals to keep you feet from vibrating off because the shake so much.
