An I guess it does suck to be an officer in a Polish Army (and yes it does)
The guy was 44 and he left a wife and a son back in Poland...

That's real a tragedy for the man's family. They can thank their gov. for jumping on board Bush's "Coalition of the dumbasses."

Are they still a minor player in the coalition now?

I don't know, maybe we'll have to upgrade their "player" status in order for them to stay for the long haul. It's all fun and games until blood is spilt.

They knew the risks before they sent their troops in. They were a player from the start.

I agree, but like I said, all's well until people start to die. Attitudes have a way of changing real fast, and even if you knew the risks to begin with, its really not compounded until those risks translate into reality, atleast IMO.

Yes lets see if the Polish pack up and leave like the UN or if they stay to do some work that needs to be done. I am betting they stay.
