Public opinion polls paint a divided picture on whether Poles themselves are prepared for a conflict scenario.
According to an IBRiS survey for Radio ZET in August 2025, 44.8% of respondents declared that they would volunteer to defend the country in a war situation. In contrast, 49.1% responded negatively and 6.1% were undecided.
One in three Polish women said they would be ready to fight, while among men, more than half (54%) said so. The youngest are least enthusiastic; in the 18-29 age group, 69% said they would not come to the country’s defence.
Tarnowski points to another key problem: a lack of trust in the army. “Only half of Poles more or less state that our army would be able to defend the country. Therefore, enlisting in the army, which in the perception of these people is an army incapable of defending itself effectively, is also to be understood here as such a refusal response.”
Young people these days are generally more self-centered. Also, city folk vs rural is much different.
Im ready to go if they would take me.
Great idea, both to build trust and improve the country’s security. I’ve already signed up and I encourage everyone to do the same, there’s still many vacancies available.
I am torn
This is good, because naive people will go, and thus I should be spared from being enslaved because I have a penis
But it might be bad as well, because it shifts public perception, making mandatory service more likely, especially should this program not bring enough people in
Lets say that military training for civilians is a entirely different thing than military training for actual soldiers.
Imagine that Marianna Schreiber an internet celebrity completed military training under government program too.
It should be mandatory for everyone after high school
Everyone’s different. If they’d require me to go I’d go. Even though I have a well payed job and
It’s a good start, but majority of the variant seem like roughly what used to be taught in WOS. We’ll see in practice.
The only variant that offers anything substantial is the reserve variant – and that one ends with a military pledge. If there are no additional very specific and draconian laws against workplace discrimination to even ASK about reserve status – this seems like a non-starter.
On it’s own – I expect companies to straight up ignore any workers application if they can be called to reserve.
I mean – I wanted to go even using my vacation days, I train with guns but would totally get onboard with back to basics training, I fly a drone, I like hiking with backpack buffer, already have first-aid training… all in all I should be a slam-dunk case of enthusiast for this. But I have a C+E driving license as a fallback job, and I would be shocked, *shocked* I say, if any company wanted to hire me after a reserve pledge.
We’d be like “alright, you’re hired for this 2-weeks on 2-weeks off route” “you didn’t ask me about reserve status” “what’s the worst that could happen” and I’m walking out because these fools don’t know how to run a lean transportation company.
I wish I could join, to learn how to most efficiently murder and come out alive, wonderful thing. But no, I never can pass psychological exam, I just cannot find info on what exactly should I say during the interview or those annoying tests. Welp in case of war I will have to beat some poor soul to death before getting a gun to cleanse this world of scums.
