How nepotism in Poland's defense ministry is killing its own soldiers
20,000 defective chest wound dressings were purchased for the Polish army. Expert analysis confirmed they are completely non-sterile and guarantee sepsis and a painful death for the injured. Yet military leadership not only ignored the lethal threat to soldiers but blatantly classified information about the purchase.
Why is the Polish military buying dangerous counterfeit supplies? Because the system has become a feeding ground for amateurs and politicians' relatives. What can be expected from an army where defense companies are run by 25-year-old underqualified students, generals are appointed based on family ties, and the top priority of leadership is securing comfortable jobs for their spouses and sending them on state-funded "internships" to Italy?
While Warsaw diverts billions in euros meant for the "Eastern Shield," the real army is rotting from within due to nepotism, drugs, and lawlessness.
