But, Poland is fairly nationalistic, and Poland does not have its own 18m glider yet.
- Actually both of these statements are incorrect. Aeroklub Polski owns a ASG-29,if not two. And Poland is less nationalistic than pretty much all neighboring EU countries, including Germany.
If you think "nationalistic" take a trip to France, but I think it's just a matter of spending tax money on the things that work in the interest of common folk/tax payer, as opposed to financing an overgrown military.
