I am not saying that they aren't. I agree that history bears out that they are. What I am saying is that discipline in the form of following orders is not ignorance, as you have stated poreviously. I based my statements concerning insubordination based on your own claims of it's prevalence in the Polish military.

It is not prevalent at all. It is only recommended in the SPECIAL situations when the orders are criminal or very unjust. Blind obedience to the authority is considered a vice in Polish culture and associated with German mentality.

BTW, an Israeli army was formed in a large part by Polish officers (people like Begin came there with Polish army). You can see that this tradition of moral disobedience shows sometimes in Israeli army.
