The salute is performed with the middle and index fingers extended and touching each other, while the ring and little fingers are bent and touched by the thumb. The tips of the middle and index fingers touch the peak of the cap, two fingers supposedly meaning honor and fatherland (Honor i Ojczyzna).<\/strong><\/p>\n Since 2009 there is no compulsory military service in Poland.<\/p>\n And again, a little vocabulary according to the subject:<\/p>\n piechota<\/strong>– infantry stopie\u0144 wyszkolenia<\/strong>– state of training Do nast\u0119pnego razu<\/strong>!
