Throughout the Cold war Turkey anchored the southern flank of NATO. If you don't get how important they were geopolitically, look at a map. Their troops gave the North Koreans a pretty bad headache in the Korean War also.

Kemalist Turkey was a reliable ally, up until they chose to sit out Desert Storm. Only since then have they begun to slide into the Islamic sewer. And as Erdogan betrays his predecessors, now they are only allies on paper.

~I spent some time at Incirlik. I was never under the impression that the Turks were even friends, let alone allies. I thought the worst part of being in Turkey, was dealing with Turks. ~

As far as 20 years ago I mentioned that everywhere in Turkey when they fly multiple foreign flags (near hotels, restaurants, on excursion boats) American flag is always upside down.

They may have had stretches where our interests aligned, but long-term an alliance with Turkey was doomed to failure.

I heard a rumor that Ataturk was a Greek. I know it was part of the Ottoman Empire, but that must stick in the craw of many Turks. If I hated being in Turkey, because I did not like Muzzies, I don’t think I would have survived Saudi Arabia, if I would’ve ever had the misfortune of being there.

Turkey should be kicked out of NATO. Mission, objectives & members of NATO should be re-evaluated. Erdogan is quite the stubborn islamist mule with Ottoman Empire ambitions. He constantly works to add fuel to fire.
