It’s getting that time of the century for Germans to get itchy again.

Germans defendingTurks? I will believe it when I see it. They are culturally... Unfriendly to each other, prat least during my four years there way back when it was West Germany.

Germany has been invaded by trouble-causing Turks for DECADES and now the insult is to require German boys to go over there PROTECT Turkey, thereby adding to this stupid imbroglio...?

RIDICULOUS....

The idea of a European Union soldier actually firing his weapon without fear of a lawsuit and trial in The Hague is downright laughable.

Only three NATO countries – the US, Netherlands and Germany - have the most advanced Patriot models, the PAC-3, which can be used against planes as well as rockets, the paper said.

Yep, and the Turks will change their import laws so they can confiscate this major end item. Anything in the country for over 180 days automatically becomes Turkish property. Back in '91, the Turks changed that to 90 days in an effort to confiscate a Patriot battery at Incirlik Air Base during GW1.

In the words of a young Turk: If you are not a Turk, you are the infidel, and the infidel has no right to property.
