The Polish armed forces are training citizen volunteers how to be armed partisans, firing rifles and donning gas masks.

That’s… not great. The program is apparently popular, so they are expanding its capacity so that every adult male receives the training.

      The same could be said for overestimating them, which can lead to defeatism.

        I absolutely don’t see that as what’s happening here.

        They’re simply taking a page out of Switzerland’s book, which is essentially “train literally everyone as a contingency, and make a public defense policy to bleed anyone white who tries to invade”.
