And let us not forget that when we invaded Iraq, Turkey refused to allow the 3ID to invade from the north. That would have forced Saddam to split his forces..likely saved hundreds of American lives. We should have moved to kick them out of NATO on the sport, and told them to take Incirlik and shove it up their collective asses. The base is worthless strategically if we won’t be allowed to use it..
Turkey better hope it can fight better than Iraq when ISIS comes calling, because it won’t be US troops defending its borders.
