“but that the U.S. is making no threats against its NATO ally if it fails to comply.”

What “ally”? When we needed them to fight Sadaam, they cost us the use of our best army division and the chance to open
a northern front.

That’s what we get for 50 years of being an “ally”.

The US can count on the fingers of one hand the number of “allies” it depend on.

And that is being generous. . .

Agreed Turkey is no ally of the United States.

I didn’t know the 82nd was going to be coming from the north. If you mean the 4th coming from the north then yes they screwed us but the 4th is definitly not “the best.” They are on the same level as the 3rd....Mech
I am just heckling but I agree with the “ally” statement and you are 100% correct to state that if they truly were our ally then we would’t have had SF types dropping in from Cyprus and other Mediterranean locations because of our “aalies.”
