This is a non-story. The US Military has been in Turkey for at least sixty years. The Turkish US Logistics Group (TUSLOG) is the primary command element in Turkey of Sixteenth Air Force (Incirlik Air Base and Izmir Air Base). TUSLOG not only commands various USAFE units, but also supports all other US military organizations and government agencies in Turkey. Pirinçlik Air Force Base near Diyarbakır, NATO's frontier post for monitoring the former Soviet Union and the Middle East, closed on 30 September 1997. The base housed sensitive electronic intelligence-gathering systems that monitored the Middle East, the Caucasus and Russia.
I didn't reenlist in 1981 because I was facing a year and a half unaccompanied remote assignment at a detachment at Diyarbakır. My marriage is alive and well because I didn't stay in.
I have an uncle that thinks all Muslims are fine people because of the wonderful experiences he had in the Army in the 1950's putting around Turkey on a scooter with his first wife.
