Vietnam Vet - I served with a couple of Vietnam Vet’s while in Iraq...a Master Sgt that was still in the Reserves...and later on a K9 operator with Blackwater...great guys...had a lot of information to share on insurgencies.
Thanks for your service! That war and that time - I don’t know how you guys did it.
Here’s my book on Islam and what I learned while I was over there - and what worked to defeat them.
Amazon: Babylon’s Covert War.
I will check it out.I have paid a lot of attention to Islam for half a century because I lived in Istanbul for much of my preteen youth. I used to defend Turkiye on these boards because I remember the Turks being very appreciative of Americans in the 50s and I know there was a lot of slandering of of the country due to the enormities of the Sultanate and even a lot of that was misdirected. It was with reluctance that I went from staunch defender of the Republic to being skeptical of the Islamifying Turkish State. When Erdogan came along he did what Obama and to a lesser extent Carter and Clinton have done to the USA. He purged the Army and the courts which had been staunch defenders of the secular Republic before he could safely Islamify the nation. The Army has a Constitutional duty to defend and ensure the Republic and it removed the government, once due to the Islamic nature of the regime and once due to Communists having got control, on two occasions after the 50s and received a lot of opprobrium from Europe and the USA for those “undemocratic” actions, but the Army did what Mustafa had designed in the Constitution. Now, as is happening even now in the USA, the Constitution is a dead letter.
I just ordered it.
Yes. Themselves.
