A full of 235 thousand, a full of so many Poles, will stand in front of the military selection committee in 2026. For many of them, this will be the first major test of readiness to serve. For the army, a test of who he can truly number on in the face of threats that are increasingly hard to ignore. The already over 3 years of war in Ukraine, subsequent Russian drone attacks and diversional incidents make regular calls of a different importance today. In this context, the question of the possible return of compulsory essential military service resonates. The latest poll shows that the public's consequence is clear.
