WARSAW, Poland (AP) — American soldiers rolled into Poland on Thursday, fulfilling a dream some Poles have had since the fall of communism in 1989 to have U.S. troops on their soil as a deterrent against Russia. Some people waved and held up American flags as U.S. troops in tanks and other vehicles crossed into southwestern Poland from Germany and headed toward the town of Zagan, where they will be based. Poland's prime minister and defense minister will welcome them in an official ceremony Saturday. "This is the fulfilment of a dream," said Michal Baranowski, director of the German Marshall Fund think tank in Warsaw. "And this is not just a symbolic presence but one with a real capability."

Wasn't there a war that happened some time ago that included tanks rolling around Krakow?

Overrated.

Ship life is where the good deployments are.

We could have had the missile defense built by now if Obama and Clinton wouldn't have pushed the reset button with Russia.

No shite, right? I was in the GD sandbox twice, Poland may be a bit cold but it beats the hell out of 120+.
Plus, you can f*ck the Polish women.

For those who benefit from our presence of course.

Price for our protection should be 10 Million per day of presence at a minimum.

I've been to Romania and Georgia. Cool people, but not places I feel a need to visit again.

Now Palma, Seychelles, Greece, etc...
