I was in Turkey in 1982. I feel the same way. I dont think those clowns have EVER been our ally.
I thought it was the worst place I was ever at, in 20 years in the USAF.
During my time in Turkey in the 60s, we shipped in a lot of specially made antennas to listen in on the various Russian rocket ranges. The Turks refused to let us use them as they had not been OKed in advance. So the antennas just sat in crates and boxes out in the weather. In the long run it did not mater as the Russians switched over to land lines.
Then again, shutting the water off to our base was not friendly, nor the locals crawling up the hill to kill us all. (Local forces brought out the Arty and said would reduce the town below to rubble unless the nonsense ended; it did).
