More MAGA.. Trump gets Poland to pay for our support. Tadeusz Kosciuszko, we are here Longtime readers know Tadeusz Kosciuszko is a favorite of mine. The Polish-Lithuanian military engineer joined the Continental Army. His advice was ignored and we lost Fort Ticonderoga. His advice was taken and we won the Battle of Saratoga. Nearly 250 years later, we are finally paying Poland back. Fox News reported, "The United States will send 1,000 more troops to Poland, which has agreed to pay the entire expense, in a move that boosts the nations' defense ties, President Trump has said. "'We'll be moving soldiers there,'Trump said during his bilateral meeting with Polish President Andrzej Duda at the 74th United Nations General Assembly in New York City on Monday. The two later inked the deal. "American service members will likely come from other places in Europe where they're already stationed. Trump said. Officials say other details will be discussed in the coming weeks. This is in addition to the 4,500 American troops already stationed there. The downside is we are not doing this as a genuine payback to the Europeans who have fought hardest for liberty and freedom for others while seldom enjoying it themselves. No, Poland is paying us to be there. Trump said, "Poland came to us, they asked us if we would put some troops there and they will bear the entire expense. We appreciated that and we worked out a deal. "They're going to be building us facilities that I'm sure will be very beautiful." We should relocate our soldiers and airmen in Germany to Poland and other countries that respect us, such as the Czech Republic and Hungary. How about a Fort Melania in Slovenia? General Kosciuszko put his all-men-are-equal where his wallet was. The army assigned him a black orderly, Agrippa Hull, whom he treated as an equal and friend. After the war, The general returned to Poland and led forces in many voctories against superior Russian forces. Kosciuszko left in his will enough money for the manumission of of his friend Thomas Jefferson's slaves but as executor of the will, Jefferson could not bring himself to free his slaves. Even great men have feet of clay. President Duda has teased about a Fort Trump. Cavalry soldiers may prefer a Fort Pulaski, but I dream of a Fort Kosciuszko with an Agrippa Hull Airfield. We owe the Poles. Most of Europe does, too.
