Please note I did say "legend" BUT when I was in the Rangers and also at Ranger School RIs and ex RIs did talk about that story .... Turks are ROUGH ... VERY ROUGH ... in Berlin I remember Turks stabbing our soldiers in the butt and then stealing our soldiers' money (1989-92) .... for the Turks it was just a game.
