You are absolutely right on that. I know because I loaded them at Incirlik in the late 1960,s as part of a 30 day TDY attachment shared by three F-100D Squadrons. Had 18 months total time at Incirlik The Mk61 (B designation came after I was out), was introduced to us in 1969.

But in 1960, the legacy of Ataturk meant that Turkey was still secular and not dominated by Muslim fanatics, a movement that was just getting started then.

Turkey is now 99% Muslim and Erdogan has systematically dismembered religious pluralism guarded by the Turkish military.

Turkey should be evicted from NATO and seen for what it now is: a country descending into Muslim madness, a place that will regress to the barbarism and stone age crudity that all of the Arab middle east is becoming.

They should have no access to any American weapons, especially nuclear weapons.
