Per capita you say. What about defence budget ?

France $61,571,330,000

Poland $11,800,000,000


Involvement in Afghanistan - France 3,095 as of November 22, 2009

Poland - 1910 as of October 22, 2009

That is a bit different I am afraid.

I must conclude you are doing it intentionally knowing well that the deployement is much more difficult to handle for Poland.
Should I expect more of similar arguments coming from you ? This was a bit unexpected.
