(newspapers' headlines)

(soldiers' opinions)

• We have too little money to make new equipment

• Politicians do nothing to promote us

• Polish factories should co-operate more

I think the Polish army should buy Polish tanks.

Leopard is old but still does a much better job in the field than Twardy.

Let's keep the Polish factories busy. People need jobs!!
