How many Poles are engaged in NATO operations?
Right now, several thousand German soldiers are in Afghanistan (NATO-led ISAF) and Bosnia as well as Kosovo.

By the way, Atlantic Friend (who must stand this heavy French-bashing here *sigh*), is right when he says that our constitution forbids attacks on other countries. Our constitutional court has decided in 1994 that we may engage in humanitarian missions outside NATO area and in 1999 that we may participate in a war if accepted by NATO or the UN.

I was about to say that Germany paid over 30% of NATO budget, and was the single largest contributor in terms of money (and maybe also in terms of troops, since every German unit is NATO-slated IIRC) but I don't know if this figure is still accurate.
