A quickie: Reading some material on the Iraqi invasion, Ranger found that Poland had 200 soldiers in the invasion force.

This strikes Ranger as irony in the highest. WW II started on 1 September 1939 in Europe when Hitler preemptively invaded Poland. Now it is Poland who assists in preemptive invasions.

Progress and democracy work in mysterious ways. Maybe they just wanted to see what a successful invasion felt like.
