A bright day in Afghanistan with the advance party of Polish Troops arriving. The first 120 of a 1200 man unit arrived to take over duties from the Infamous 82nd Airborne of the USA.
Their prime duty will be to maintain the Kabul - Kandahar corridor. Security and repair of same. They are a welcome addition to the NATO Family.
I had the pleasure of serving with Polish Troops in Egypt as part of the UN Force in 1973. Well trained and well equipped they are fine soldiers.
Our guys and gals are still hard at it with both security and reconstruction. They are responsible for a major part of the Afghan Mission. Keep up the good work.
Someone once said that the world will only find lasting peace once every other country in the world has invaded Afghanistan. |
