Turkey has hit out at the US over images said to show US special forces in Syria wearing insignia of Kurdish militia, during joint operations against so-called Islamic State (IS).
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu called the US "two-faced" and said the practice was "unacceptable".
The images appear to show a US special forces soldier wearing the patch of the YPJ - a Kurdish militia group.
A Pentagon spokesman said troops often blended in with partners for safety.

Two faced? Turkey is pretending to be allied with US while supporting ISIS
Good thing the troops didn’t say anything about the Armenian Genocide (oops, that never happened!)
When I was in Turkey..I knew a guy that bragged about going commando under his civies.
A not so subtle hint to the Turks that their days of duplicity of backing the Muslim Brotherhood and being a member of good standing in NATO are over.
I just got done reading a piece on the fall of Constantinople. Can we please nuke Turkey into a parking lot?
The War with Syria that Obama hasn’t declared, nor asked Congress to defend. We have troops and equipment, and are flying bombing missions every day over Syria defending the terrorists we armed and we are still trying to overthrow Assad, who is defended by Russia, Iran and some Nato States. What could go wrong? Oh, wait, Obama hasn’t started wars, Never mind Yemen, Libya and Egypt, and ignore Syria. He’a a man of peace.
Meanwhile we are losing the war in Afghanistan to the resurgence of the Taliban funded by Pakistan
Turks are unhappy? And.............
We should tell Turkey to pound sand and kick them out of NATO.
Turkey is led by an Islamist who is not on our side.
Most of their efforts have been aimed at the Kurds.
They have been assisting ISIS.
“Turkey” should be eliminated as a political entity. They have perpetrated SO much evil in the world, that we should depose its government and rename it Kurdistan, with the Turks suffering as did the Spanish under Muslim rule — for 770 years. Then they can get “Turkey” back.
After the Armenian genocide, when Ataturk took over Turkey, they were actually a model nation for the past 100 years or so. Secular government that respected the rights of their citizens. Women were forbidden from wearing hijabs. But ever since Erdogan became President, the nation has regressed considerably.
NBC is reporting this now but my post about it got disappeared.
