Because technically, the polish soldier would be working in the country just as any other polish worker, and then if injured he'd claim from our benefit system, which is 'claiming what is rightfully ours', just like the Polish workers who are claiming child benefit... which I should add is RIGHTFULLY theirs too.
So would you support a polish soldier then? Or would he be just as much a burden as these other workers?

the answer is No , because any person wearing the uniform of any country other than his own is a mercenary , for all the awe and veneration that the British hold for the Ghurkas they are in fact Mercenaries (national of a foriegn country ) the Poles and French who served so well in the Royal Air Force during the Battle of Britain (WW2 ) were in fact members of their own Govt. in exile forces seconded to the RAF and wore their own national patchs.
