End of Draft coming

Polish Radio reported the Polish military should end its obligatory military service for young men and set up fully professional armed forces by 2013.

Poland's will launch a campaign to lure young people to the army that would be made up entirely of professional soldiers. The outgoing Defense Minister Aleksander Szczyglo said soldiers specially trained for recruiting will be sent across Poland to promote the military profession and attract young men and women with passion for the army.

To support its campaign monthly salaries will be elevated in January to be followed by another raise later in 2008.
