WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland will need a much larger army, something that could be hard to achieve given its aging population, if it is to defend itself from what seems to be a war this generation will inevitably face, a top general was quoted as saying by state news agency PAP.
"Everything is indicating that we are the generation that will stand up in arms to defend our country. And neither I nor any of you intend to lose this war," armed forces chief of staff General Wieslaw Kukula was quoted as saying in an address on Friday to a military academy, the University of Land Forces, in Wroclaw.
