I seem to recall reading reports that during the attempted coup there was concern about the safety of our troops and the possible presence of nukes at Incirlik air base. I don’t consider Turkey to be an ally. We would be better off with our forces out and them out of NATO.

I’m not arguing that is not true, I’m saying we are there and probably will not leave soon.

Where did you read that? The WaPo? My bet is there was never anything said by the military or the President at the time. The MSM is totally clueless about things like that. They are no longer there.

As far as our troops are concerned, they were locked down at the base. Every person I've ever met that served at Incirlik told me the same thing, they hated that duty.
