Poland's Paramilitaries.

[SheilaT.]

Found this today, thought those who live in spitting distance of Russia might find it interesting, and in general terms, at least one govt doesn't think we're bonkers or a threat to homeland security

"Some 100,000 people have now joined paramilitary organisations in Poland. Others - so called "preppers" - are learning how to survive a possible invasion.

Now the Polish government hopes these "pro-defence" groups will form the backbone of a new reserve force to help the professional army."

Links works just fine, some days it still gets to me, its surreal that right across the globe its like some strange kind of madness has taken hold of the human race, maybe its a kind of zombi-ism, just cant understand why poeple cant let other poeple be.
