Serving in Iraq is no picnic

Życie Warszawy reported yesterday that a Polish soldier from the Military Information Services stationed in Iraq was unable to cope with the difficulty of his mission and had asked to be sent back to Poland. According to the daily, Major Józef K. was sent to Iraq last month. After he told his superior that he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, his gun was taken away and he was immediately sent back to Poland. General Staff spokesman Lieutenant Zdzisław Gnatowski assured the paper that the Major was in a good condition, while, "Doctors said that, despite his nervous breakdown, he will be able to serve in Iraq" said Gnatowski.
