Military power (Poland #21 in the world)

I think I'll take the word of somebody who has been there and worked with the people in question over the imagination of an American in Wroclaw.

True


Untrue


I'm off to the Africa next Thursday for a month's consultancy. I'll post an imaginary photo of the Blue Nile.


Also untrue. They do have certain engineering functions should they be on active service.


Quite.

In case of war these soldiers are incorporated into the Warsaw 10th motorised battalion and act as Army Command bodyguard unit being re-armed with Beryls and mounted in Humvees and the like and as such they have no engineering functions whatsoever.

Untrue - they have some very specific functions to do with engineering, however most of the time they sit around and wait for official visits.

So can you enlighten us as to what functions these are? Also no they dont sit around, they undergo the same training as any other infantry unit in Poland though less time intensive to allow for other duties, typically only about 80 of them (the battalion is over 400 strong) perform representative duties at any one time.

So what were you supposed to teach them? I got Mjr Skroński on my facebook he's gonna be home in 2 days so i can mail him then.

Ah. So you've read or heard something. But still untrue.

No i told you i know the chief of HQ, he's a member of the Lower Silesian historical association of which i'm a member as well and i had a pleasure of meeting him several times, got him on my facebook, got his e-mail, bet you feel humiliated now mate?:)

So anyway tell us what are these "engineering duties"? Or are you just gonna spam "its untrue" to try and save your face?

You mentioned a major. By name!!! I only dealt with Colonels and upwards. But would never, ever mention their names on some internet forum. Though I am still in very close and long-standing contact with a few. It's clear you don't know anything about either our ways in Poland or about military life.



Are you insane or an enemy spy?

Why? He mentions his name on multiple internet forums and is well known and respected as an amateur but solid historian.


Dude... tell me you're trolling?

Very odd. And now you've spread his name and job further.


Would you discuss details of a military contract you've worked on?

Obviously, but since you never worked for a military and i caught you lying you'll claim that it was all top secret :)))))))))

Seriously mate i can go even further and fetch one of the soldiers of said battalion who can prove his identity by answering to anyone with a Nasza-Klasa account or Facebook and he'll tell you himself that these guys have no engineering duties whatsoever since not one of them is a certified engineer:)))))

Only twice. The first time in Poland. When you were still in short trousers.


You didn't.


Ah, somebody off the internet. Perhaps you'll post his name, job title and the combination to his office safe :-))


Again, wrong.

Not at all, they all got pictures of themselves in uniform on Nasza-Klasa, you're a clown buddy and caught lying you were unable to save your face:)

How tacky. Probably 'other ranks' or junior officers.


No need to save my face. It is intact and available to view on this very site. The details of the work I was doing with the army, including names, is however still discreet.

You however have discussed military details. However you only have at best second hand knowledge, so we can take them with a pinch of salt.

Well,wild stab in the dark here,but,they blow the bejesus out of certain water spanning structures?????


So,a bunch of drunken class A drug users with a tendency to de flower under age girls impressed by their big swords then?

;-)


There's a reason they had to install security cameras pointed at the ones guarding the tomb of the unknown soldier about 5 or 6 years ago. And it's nothing to do with slipping into the bushes with under age girls.

A bit pointless though as the VDV would already be down the Ochota road fanning out from the airport and all over Mokotow fields.....


Well, Ive seen the marching................

Jesus. This is depressing to think about. The nuclear weapon is the single most evil invention in history.

By the way, I think this year the Kraut.... err, German army has gone professional. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Aye,but atleast the planes we'd have bombed the hell out of you guys with were sexys as sin......................

Not even a nuke would be able to stop the polish winged hussars. Much less, any enemy personell in tanks or even F22's would shiver at the idea of going up against our Hussaria. Poland needs to invest more in horses!

Quite agree old chum,we really should,in europe be reduced to those forces we have as ceremonial troops.
The battlefield would certainly look more colourfull, Red Coats advancing in a thin red line alongside french curasiars with their shiny breast plates ready to do mortal combat with a bunch of greek commandos in ruffly mini skirts and pom pom slippers :)

Go on you have caught my interest(:

What about navy and aviation? What horses would fight submarines and bombers? Seahorses and pegasuses might be an answer, but again the hussars would lose all the feathers riding either of these. So how do you solve this dilemma? You can't shove it up their rear-ends and pretend they are the hussars or can you? It is not as easy as it seems. I think investment in geese should also be upregulated.

I think he was being sarcastic about the horse thing.

So far an interesting thread hopefully i will get an answer to my earlier question {is waiting impatiently for an answer}

More common in Ukraine and Russia, but somethings are best only alluded to. PM me if you want the gory details!

Which guys ?


Why not ?


Fascinating. Especially that the unit you are talking about don't have any people with these ranks. Dude, you are a feckin clown, you are proving it again and again.

Really? Does that mean my students were cardboard cutouts? Or maybe the people under whose command that unit is.


So in fact you don't know what you're talking about, as per usual.


So you haven't really read many, have you, Moania?

I am a believer.

PS: the email has been sent

Yep, you were on a special secret mission in the army, you know many secrets, you crush us 10 thousand times as we all know s*it... Dude, you are so feckin pathetic that It's becoming frightening.
