A Polish army general who criticised Poland's defence ministry over refusing to purchase what he termed essential equipment for Polish troops in Afghanistan, resigned on Thursday. "I'm quitting the army because I have no other choice as a soldier," General Waldemar Skrzypczak, 53, said in Warsaw.
"I haven't changed my opinion, everything I've said was true," Ambrozinski added. Skrzypczak attacked senior defence ministry officials after insurgents killed Polish army captain Daniel Ambrozinski in an ambush in the central Afghan province of Ghazni on August 10.
