No. I was there when it was happening.

Unknown to many, Incirlik is a joint US/Turkish air base.
After GW1, the Turks decided that they wanted a Patriot system, so they conveniently changed the law. We sequestered the entire battalion of equipment on the base behind wire and armed guards. One evening, the battery personnel arrived, checked their equipment, and drove down to Iskenderun Port and onto a Ro-Ro transport. The equipment was gone for three days before the Turks noticed. They threw a fit, but we told them that we didn't see a thing.
