already forgotten and coming back as laughter . "Ne zaman kıt akıllı dense biz değiliz ki!" is the standart idea , actually a global idea that Dunning Krueger can only apply to lesser beings .
that the Turkish flag originates as the symbol of a ancient Greek colony by the Bosphoros is a plot to justify things that would happen if the Republic fell , even the Ottomans fell , before everything was turned upside down with the nuclear weapons . If one merely checks the wikipedia page crescent and star or whatever . Like
our flag does not depict the satan living in sin , if one was tempted by the interpretations of hermetic societies that follow pagan rituals .
don't care whatever the Byzantium thing shares with sun and crescent of the pagan Iranians and stuff , not my thing , not my problem .
the same wikipedia page will also inform you that the Saudis are preparing for a long time to call us infidels that should be exterminated with extreme prejudice because our flag is not a symbol of Islam and stuff , though not that clearly ; context is everything .
what this presumed American said (now that nobody ever tells me anything) is that some people were given access to various notes and stuff like more than a century ago and the Law of the Flag of 1936 was written under their advice with Atatürk closely watching . Trouble looms quick fast to catch you unawares if you don't pay attention , this is the timeframe this country will stop skull measurements as an official policy when the Nazi Party under Adolf was forced to admit Turks were not a lesser race when the illegitimate son of an Ottoman officer in training or whatever at the time as thrown out of the Nazi Party and won his case in the courts . When you don't have a thousand Thunderbolts on your airfields , such minor details gain a certain weight .
more pertinently it relates to 1968 when Güven Erkaya used personal initiative to follow the said Law of 1936 to use larger flags on his destroyer . He would be sunk in '74 in a friendly fire incident and take a leading role in this so called Coup of February 28th (by 1996) . Lord Vader sometimes makes up stuff to check whether ı am asleep so ı am pretty sure that he pulled up a Naval ensign (when they engaged another yatch with their gun running yatch and quickly established a superiority of fire over the Greeks and stuff) is not the case . Even if Pakistanis are reported have used Cobra ATGMs in combat by '65 , it really sounds fishy that he would have some to smuggle into places . Apparently it was produced under licence in this country but the internet has nothing on the questions of when and how many ... And if that's made up , it leaves the Amphibious Infantry as the answer .
america had long decided to end the Cyprus Republic , the British were in agreement , the only problem being the Greeks who would ethnically cleanse the Turkish Cypriots in an heartbeat , which then would be a problem within NATO .
remember my thing that timing was everything ? Any other year and the gang would not be allowed into the US as Communists or even worse . That Lord Vader arrived with a single bag , filled to the brim with crayons of all colours is a 21st Century invention ...
Instead , they did make some deals , the most pertinent to this post being that the USMC arranged that the troops Ankara sent over would be trained as their own . This obliquely involves , among others , the attack on USS Liberty , the negative attitude of the US Media during the Tet Offensive , a certain comradeship as there were some who had served in Korea in 1951 to '53 , and some Marine flyers from WW 2 who pestered Lord Vader that he should get some F4Us if he was given stuff to do anything he liked . Nobody much likes my posts , being spam and off topical junk but it appears there were some American mercenaries who would be intent to kill Hernando Soto of the Honduran Airforce , the leading scorer of the then next year's Soccer War . Like there were some who wanted P-51 pushed on after the T-28 was rejected out of hand . This is like skirting the issue of whether some Vought propeller design could have been bought after USAF rejected it on the way that would eventually lead to the A-10 . This thing being like officially about Cyprus but involving long term developments that would suddenly allow Ankara to fight a counterinsurgency campaign . In case all those Arab countries suddenly folded or something . Either that or a conventional airforce that would defeat the Greeks and might presumably engage a rather famous airforce of the times as an equal . Which would lead to Shah of Iran deciding to build up an immense airforce in the next decade , causing an almost as big expenditure from the Saudis and like , why , we were quite fine by then , too . The really big fall really hard in a really loud way . The Piper PA-48 survived into the 1980s and no , it was never in ...
it is presumably the side tours the Amphibious Infantry officers would receive , beyond the official curricola , where their USMC counterparts talked of things . The usual training would no doubt be geared to make the Turkish unit cannon fodder in the usual manner that might have been used as a subordinate to higher NATO commands but unable to survive on its own . Marines taught them ways to survive .
naturally it was closed down by the Generals in Ankara as soon as practicable . The then next commander of the now dead Turkish Navy re-established the unit and doubled its size with "untainted officers and non-comms" , too . Despite it was still the mobilization destination of Lord Vader and some , despite he was originally trained as a paratrooper , despite the unit survived in spite of the difficulties imposed on it even on the field of battle and so on . Apparently the original cadre was taken to some US sail frigate and the noted the extremely large size of some among the ship's flags . They mentioned this in a few places and were told there were some out-of-print copies of the Law of 1936 with annexes in which Atatürk had allowed equally large battle ensigns in the most extremely unlikely eventuality of the country acquiring 18th Century sailing ships . We had some of the finest , designed by and built under French experts in Ottoman service during the Napoleon's wars .
the point one is supposed to see comes here . The so called patriots with high ideals and stuff were stunned that the Coup of 1980 did not let them take control of the country and kill all the Communists and in fact hunted them down as well . Some of them ran to Germany and were ready to fight Communists elsewhere as mercenaries , making arrangements for serving in Nicaragua under Argentinian officers . This is of course the work of School of Americas , trying to defeat some un-Americanness that came out weird stuff that involved foreigners talking with so many planemakers instead of being robbed directly and ending up in a ditch . The so called patriots were ready to have their own flags . This is like somehow the entire reason for that article of Constitution that stipulates there is only one Turkish flag and no Parliament can change the laws in order to replace it . Kenan Evren being dismissive as any but Americans insisting . As a lie of sorts as they were priming Santa Turgut to destroy the Republic . Meaning , why , nobody forces anybody to use the Turkish flag , right ?
