If a war comes to your country it does not ask your age

[HelloAutoCarz]

This is great for Poland 🇵🇱 It will make its young youth and teen more serious in life and drive the countries economy to top notch as well as make them good citizens! Every country needs to adopt this strategy. It helps bring disciplined citizens.

[lukasgza]

Considering Polands geopolitical position its a good decision.

[strongkingkong]

Poland learned from their extreme hard history 💪🦅💪.

[marek]

Because we do not beg for freedom, we fight for it ☝️🇵🇱

In WW II, Polish children fought the Nazis in the Warsaw Uprising in 1944. Some as young as 8 years old.

[marcopothuizen]

This is not a new concept, but a meaningful decision.
In Switzerland, children receive lessons in the use of firearms at a very young age.

No one is arming children. They are volunteers that want to practice and learn safe handling of the weapons and basics of warfare. Mandatory? What are you talking about...

[danilordizon]

Basic human need is to protect its way of life country, country man, belief, peace and its own

[lucys.]

[Stan-mpzz]

Good stuff Poland definitely learning from your history

[marhap]

What the hell are talking about? This thing is not mandatory and offered just in few schools.

[ScribblingPages-Official]

Shastra (weapons) and Shaastra (knowledge) are both vital in today’s world and especially among Hindus-including its all sects shaping a balanced and progressive society.

1. Shastra represents strength and protection-defense systems, law enforcement, and tools to ensure safety and security.

2. ⁠Shaastra symbolizes wisdom and education, science, ethics, and spiritual guidance for mental and social well-being.

While Shastra safeguards what we value, Shaastra helps us create value. Together, they preserve our culture, inspire innovation, and ensure harmony.

A strong society needs both the power to protect and the wisdom to progress!

We can learn from Poland as they realized the essence of Shastra in their day-to-day lives and implemented it from school children!!

[danielbienias]

Poland is not going suffer again like the past.

[Miguelbamboo]

In my Country Philippines 🇵🇭Guns are part of our Basic needs for self-defense also for Gun sports we have kids who also compete in Firing sports internationally..so this is not new for us..

[purplerocket]

Good on Poland. Citizens should be allowed to own guns. It's part of being a free human being.

[BrianJohnson-dupj]
