Despite ongoing rotations, Poland's Defense Ministry recently requested an American armored division be permanently stationed on Polish soil. This controversial request has sparked intense debate in defense circles. Michael Hunzeker and Alexander Lanoszka's commentary captures the opinion of those who favor an expanded American presence in Poland.

Maybe if the Soviets had treated the WARPAC nations better, they would not have approached NATO with the intention of joining? |

The last 70 years of bad feeling between the Russians and eastern Europe are balanced against the last 700 years of history. Nobody likes the Russians. |
