If I were the commander of this base I would notify the Turkish government that we would use deadly force to defend the base. And despite orders from Barry to surrender I would still do so!
It is highly probably that the don’t even have 10% of the small arms ammunition to even put up a good defense. Obama and the SOFA would have already taken care of that.
Exactly my thinking. Remind the Turkish leadership that you will use deadly force. That if they don’t want to see hundreds, maybe thousands of dead in the streets around the base they had better keep the protesters back, ‘cause if/when they hit the fence line, my troops have authorization and they will use it. We will not surrender no matter what bammy says because it is an illegal order - we cannot legally turn over nuclear weapons to a third party. We will surrender when we are out of ammo and our bayonets are dulled on the bones of your dead. Maybe not even then.
You act as if there is even on General left that puts the US ahead of his retirement pay and jobs with the media.
I wish I lived in your dream world.
