Hmmm, I must have missed 1 AR or 1st IN divisions deploying to Afghanistan. Do you have any photos of Abrams and Bradlies in Kabul? No? Oh, too bad. Last I checked there were only 3 light infantry BRIGADES in Afghanistan. Oh and some avaiation units, most are still in the north supplied by Russia and her satellites. Go read a bit on supply and quarter master issues and all the fine roads in Turkey. Then we'll talk.

That Turkish army. It's just a bunch of Jannisaries carrying scimitars, right? Turkey just completed a multi-billion dollar arms transaction where they are buying modern equipment from Israel of the kind used by the US military.

Ok smart guy, lets see, the best Turkish US tanks are: ahhh M60A3s, thats a 105mm round...doesn't fire to well from the Abrams' 120mm gun...oh and then there is the issue of depleted uranium rounds...those aren't sold to Turkey...but that's just the tip of the iceburg....we can talk on this later...not enough posting time just on this issue alone.

Welp seems you've already figured it all out on how to take them down...wonder what's taking all those professionals at the Pentagon so long...have you emailed them your telephone number? Bet they'd give you a contract in a minute.

Syria is afraid of Israel so they'll start up with the US? Are you kidding? Iran needs its Islamic version of the Red Guard fully mobilized just to keep the nation from throwing out the mullahs and having a giant pig roast. Saudi Arabia has no military, uses Americans for their air force, and needs the oil money desperately since real per capita GDP has decreased by about 90% since the 70s.

Lets see, Bashier wants to loose a war to get rid of the old generals who don't like him and replace them with men close to him. Iran doesn't need everyone to mine the Gulf...but I'm sure you'll realize that...or to fire missiles. And by the way, Saudi Arabia has 2 divisions of M1A2 Abrams tanks and scores of US plains...better avianics then US military has. Now, how well they fight is questionable...though suiciders make big bangs on aircraft carriers and even taking the Saudies demands a lot more troops.
