Makes you wonder what Kelowna has against the Turkish Army. South Koreans themselves certainly disagree with him.

His father was probably one of the translators in Korea.

Türkish soldiers always take an hour off from the combat - even in the middle of a deadly engagement- to have a daily shave. Lucky, all enemies respect this old custom and never shoot a single bullet during shave hour.

No kidding !  

Really........................... duh   I think you need to read everything Alphie before you write such stupidity.........

"They were dervishes. They had a peculiar style--one I hadn´t learned back at Benning. They lunged, drove the bayonet into the abdomen, whirled, struck down hard on top of the rifle with their with their left hand and consequently disembowled their victims."

What Turkish veterans of the Korean war tells me is that they were wise to the Chinese belief that no dead Chinese could go to heaven with a disembowled body. Hence they preferred not charging hills held by Turks, not because they were invaliant or scared to die....but because they did not want to get themselves disemboweled.

İf this seems upsettingly violent to you as you consider the issue sitting in your armchair, just remember the odds were 1 Turk to a 1000 Chinese on those hills.

South Koreans themselves certainly disagree with him. Him is a her

If you are a her, you can sit beside me, during the members´ reunion dinner.

kelowna, the fact that you did 2 tours does not give you the right to judge anyone here.

like I said, good for you but you are not the only one who knows anything about war just because you did 2 tours.

others here have done their military service but compare to you they do not flaunt it in everyones face.

they also do not put down and insult other TC members.

so kelowna, acute, peramedic or what ever you want to call yourself, please accept the fact that others have opinions and point of views here.

and you just said that you did a medical tour so technicly you did not see first hand but you saw the results of war when the wounded soldiers arrived at the medical compound.

after you look your enemy in the eyes and then shoot him or her, then you come and talk to us again.

during combat it grows.. so obvious that you didnt do your service
